Retaining students and ensuring their academic success are top priorities for schools and universities. FlightPath offers a transformative solution designed to boost retention rates and ensure accurate reporting and advising.

By leveraging advanced tools such as early alerts and our "Academic Priority" feature, FlightPath empowers institutions to identify at-risk students early and provide targeted interventions before it's too late.

 

Early Alerts: Proactive Support

FlightPath early alerts automatically pull from your LMS or SIS

One of FlightPath's standout features is its early alert system. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with your school’s LMS or SIS. By monitoring a variety of customizable indicators such as attendance, grades, and engagement levels, FlightPath can pinpoint students who may be struggling before they reach a critical point and directly email their assigned advisor.

These email and in-system alerts notify academic advisors and support staff about students who might need additional help, enabling timely and targeted interventions. This proactive approach not only helps in addressing issues before they escalate but also reinforces the institution's commitment to student success.

 

Academic Priority System: Customizable Risk Assessment

FlightPath's academic priority system shows how at-risk a student isAt-risk students are your institution's highest priority. That's why in FlightPath, we refer to this rating as "Academic Priority," and use a simple color-coded system so you can spot at a glance who might be in need of extra attention.

The Academic Priority module takes student support a step further by providing a customizable framework for assessing risk levels. Unlike one-size-fits-all models, FlightPath allows institutions to define and prioritize a range of factors that contribute to student risk. This could include academic performance, attendance patterns, engagement in extracurricular activities, and personal circumstances.

By tailoring these factors to reflect the unique needs and priorities of your institution, FlightPath ensures that each student receives a personalized assessment. This customization allows for a more nuanced understanding of which students may be at risk and why, facilitating more effective and targeted support strategies.

 

Why FlightPath Stands Out

The combination of these advanced features—an integrated early warning system and a flexible academic priority framework, as well as detailed reports and communications—makes FlightPath a powerful tool in improving student retention. By utilizing real-time data and customizable assessments, institutions can take a proactive stance in supporting students, reducing drop-out rates, and enhancing overall academic achievement.
