Our Services
Student Success Platforms
These Success Platforms are great tools to help students make it from orientation to graduation! These platforms include:
Student Success Course
A “one-stop-shop” for all campus resources. Students can self-enroll to keep the course on their dashboard. Modules are separated by college areas. It is an open enrollment classroom and there are no assignments or quizzes due. To join the classroom, click here.
Navigate
Navigate is a Student Success Management System for higher education that helps schools proactively manage student success and retention. With this platform, everyone on campus will be on the same page when it comes to a student’s individual success. Learn More Here.
