FACULTY & STAFF NAVIGATE FAQ
What is Navigate?
Navigate is a student success application that guides students from orientation to graduation. It helps them explore majors, navigate requirements from financial aid to course registration, and stay on top of important dates and deadlines—right in the palm of their hand.
Navigate also offers faculty, advisers and administrators comprehensive information about a student to support their success. Capabilities include, but are not limited to:
- Appointments: allows scheduling with advisers, faculty and counselors, holds meeting notes and syncs with calendars
- Deadlines: reminds students of important dates and actions needed
- Campus engagement: directs students to resources on campus
- Progress reports: sources feedback and updates on students
- Alerts: triggers a “red flag” for specific behaviors or concerns related to a student
Why are we implementing this system?
In spring 2018, leaders across campus were challenged to identify ways to elevate the student experience as part of our Limestone 2020 strategic plan to increase retention and graduation rates. Following design thinking exercises and committee meetings, the group proposed implementing a tool to share information across departments and improve students’ access to campus resources.
Navigate will fulfill this need by providing students with a practical guide to resources on campus and more transparency on deadlines and requirements. The tool will also allow employees to better advise students based on a complete view of their status with the University and to create timely warnings when a student does not complete important steps to advance in their Limestone career.
How will this help me?
Navigate is a one-stop-shop that provides a holistic view of students’ progress at the college and makes student information easily available, sortable and actionable. It will also help you connect students to support services across campus.
How will this improve the student experience?
Navigate helps students stay on top of things they need to do and keeps them engaged on campus. With your support, these are some of the benefits students will experience.
- Deadlines: From attending orientation to preparing for finals, there’s a clear timeline of what tasks students need to complete.
- Choosing a major: It helps students find the right major based on interests and goals.
- Support services: A clear list of campus resources, from academic advising to financial aid, refers students to their designated support network. Students can make appointments, and sync them with their calendar.
- Student Financial Services: Critical reminders help students complete their FAFSA, pay tuition and more.
- Resources: Navigate assists students in engaging academic, athletic, social and cultural opportunities.
How will this support retention?
Navigate offers an improved holistic view of a student’s experience at Limestone. Faculty and other administrators will have the opportunity to see when a student is at risk.
