I believe the answer is:

unanimous

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in complete agreement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'grandmother entering university with one tailless rodent is' is the wordplay.
'grandmother' becomes 'nan' (nan can informally mean a grandmother).
'entering' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'one tailless rodent' becomes 'mou' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'mou' placed into 'is' is 'imous'.
'u'+'imous'='uimous'
'nan' inserted within 'uimous' is 'UNANIMOUS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unanimous that I've seen before include "All in agreement, no exceptions" , "Agreed by all, nem con" , "no-one disagreeing" , "With one mind" , "Concerted" .)
