KSU Navigate Implementation Timeline

Through the work of the re-imagining of academic advising which involved soliciting the feedback of students and process evaluation exercises with advisors and advising administrators, along with the efforts of the Supporting the Student Experience Review Team, it became evident that we needed a system that better supported the evolving needs of our students.

A holistic picture of our students will enhance the student experience in ways our current system is not able to do, providing the most pertinent information about the student and allowing advisors to assist the student in the best way possible. It is vital for advisors to have access to student information from other offices/departments that may impact the interactions they have in the advising experience.

We want to ensure advisors have the full picture when providing advice to their students to help them make informed decisions.  We also want a system that provides students with the tools that they are looking for in a technology system, so they are having their needs met and are engaged in their advising experience.
