EAB Navigate360
Creating a Holistic Advising Experience Through Technology
Beginning in fall 2015, EAB Navigate360 became the official academic advising software for UTRGV. The innovative platform “combines technology, analytics, consulting, and best practice research to help colleges and universities use data and analytics to measurably improve student outcomes.” Furthermore, EAB Navigate360 is the primary hub for students to connect with their team of advisors, schedule advising sessions, retrieve advising notes, connect with campus resources and leverage advising tools such as Major Explorer and Career data.
Among the many integrated elements of EAB Navigate360, we are very excited about two key features that allows us to partner with our academic colleagues and offer more personalized outreach, focus and connections with our undergraduate students. These features include:
- Progress Reports
Progress Reports are a feature that allows us to “pulse” the academic progress of select undergraduate student populations (ex. student-athletes, TSI students, First-Year students, etc.) over the course of the term or year. The feature sends an email to you, the course instructor, and request feedback on the student’s progress within your course(s). You can provide information on the student’s risk factor, student’s grade, attendance/behavioral patterns, and offer additional context in the comments. Once you’ve provided your response, advisors and support services across campus receive your feedback to connect with students you deem as at-risk and offer an added level of personalized care for our undergraduates. - Early Alert
Early Alert is a campus-wide referral feature designed to connect students to institutional support services such as Career Center, Writing Center, Engaged Scholarship & Learning or the Learning Center. Alerts can be made by a member of the Advising Collaborative who feels a student could benefit from a campus resource. Selecting from the list of alert options, alerts are submitted with an email automatically notifying the student and associated office about the referral. As each alert is connected to particular office representative, once an Alert is received by the office representative, the office can then “close the loop” by managing the case. The management of a case may include following up with the student and connecting them to the appropriate service, program or support. Once the case has been seen through, the office representative may then “resolve” the case by closing it out in their account.
