In December 2017, the 6th Biennial National Association of Enabling Educators of Australia (NAEEA) Conference was hosted by Southern Cross University at the Gold Coast, Australia. The Biennial NAEEA Conference brings together educators and practitioners to collaborate on issues of relevance to enabling pathway programs leading to undergraduate university education. In this special issue of the Student Success Journal, the NAEEA conference’s top ranked research papers, as selected via a blind peer review process, have been included for publication.
