- The second highest first-year retention rate ever recorded at 85.7%.
- Historical increases in both attempted and earned credit hours.
- Increases in first-year students who have completed 30 credits by the end of term two.
- A 3.31 average grade point average and 53.74% earning a 3.5 grade point average or greater.

The report also highlights the impact of the university's Husker STUDENT Power framework, which guides faculty and staff efforts to help students learn, thrive, and succeed in achieving their career and life goals.
"UNL’s commitment to the undergraduate experience is reflected in the upward trajectory of our students’ academic performance and their overall satisfaction with their Husker experiences," said Amy Goodburn, senior associate vice chancellor and dean of undergraduate education. "I am inspired by and grateful for the dedication of our faculty and staff in supporting our students’ success."
