Here's how Navigate works.

Navigate combines technology, research, process improvement, and predictive analytics to help us improve outcomes for all students, and particularly those at risk for not reaching their goals. It does so by improving our processes in  communications, promoting responsible, actionable use of data and predictive analytics, and streamlining workflow.

Navigate improves how we communicate with our students by providing email and texting options that let us reach out to individual students and targeted groups to provide actionable information. We know that this type of proactive outreach has a direct and positive impact on student success, and the Navigate offers us the tools we need to do it consistently and well.

Navigate improves how we communicate with each other about our students. With one click, you’ll be able to see the interactions your student has had with other professionals on campus and contact additional team members who can provide necessary support.

Navigate identifies students at risk for not reaching their goals before problems become insurmountable, which allows us to connect students to resources they need in time to make a difference.

Navigate provides data that support useful, purpose-driven conversations between students and their support network about the progress they’re making toward their degree.

Navigate offers sophisticated search options that allow individual users to quickly and easily obtain actionable information about targeted groups of students that would previously have required queries to Institutional Research.

Navigate enables staff to spend more time providing direct student support and faculty on teaching, mentoring, and research by simplifying administrative processes, such as writing reports and notes, scheduling appointments, communicating with students, and preparing for meeting with students.

Why we joined Navigate.

Parkside, along with the other UW System comprehensive campuses, joined Navigate to improve campus engagement, retention, and graduation rates. Improving our communication strategies and expanding our use of predictive analytics will help ensure that students who enroll at Parkside stay enrolled, make timely progress toward a degree, and graduate with a strong sense of purpose. While each student will ultimately define what success means for them individually, as higher education professionals we have the responsibility to do everything we can to make sure that they all have the opportunity to reach their personal, academic, and professional goals.

 

Here's what we think Parkside can achieve:
 

  • Increase retention
  • Improve four- and six-year graduation rates
  • Reduce overall time to degree
  • Reduce and ultimately eliminate the retention and graduation gap for students of color and students from low-income backgrounds
  • Provide targeted, timely outreach to encourage students to engage more effectively with academic advising, support services, and the campus community
  • Improve communication among campus community members to support student success
  • Increase student satisfaction with their experience
