Welcome to the EPSS! The Effective Practices in Student Success (EPSS) database, sponsored by TG and developed by the Educational Policy Institute, was designed to serve a great need in education by providing a collection of programs and strategies that have shown evidence in encouraging students to succeed in postsecondary education, especially those who are historically underrepresented in higher education.

Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to add programs to the EPSS through our online submission system. Once entered, EPI will carefully review the submissions and entered those that fit our criteria into the database: specifically, those programs that have exhibited—and documented—success in retaining students toward graduation.

Users can search our database to look for programs that may be helpful on their campus(es), complete with updated contact information. To search EPSS, complete the free registration to receive your logon code.
