This study provides a template for and impact from an Asset, Capacity-Based (Altschuld, 2015) needs assessment focused on undergraduate student success. The purpose of this study is: (1) to provide a template and foundation for institutions to follow in gaining a depth of understanding of student needs and assets, as well as institutional capacities and resources; and (2) to illustrate the impact of this activity on student success. Key findings from this study include the low-effort, high-reward process of this needs assessment process and how the process improved program design and spurred student success outcomes.
