Abstract	Australian universities have a suite of interventions to support first-year students. While many papers explore interventions that support students after they commence their studies, less is known about how proactive pre-orientation engagement interventions build and affect a student’s definition of success. This paper follows 3518 commencing students from Semester 1, 2023 at the University of Southern Queensland. It looks at how the personalised onboarding of 939 of these students positively impacted their course withdrawal rates post-census date and overall final grade point average. The evidence gathered during this study demonstrates that early engagement with students by telephone is an effective communication method to support a student’s success.
