FlightPath: Security and Accessibility in Student Success Software

Higher education institutions must strike a careful balance between powerful student support tools and strict compliance with security and accessibility standards. With FlightPath, colleges, universities, and even high schools get the best of both worlds: a robust academic advising platform that puts student success first, without compromising on data protection or accessibility compliance.

All at a price-point for schools of any size.

 

Accessibility That Goes Beyond Checkboxes

FlightPath offers top security and accessibility

True accessibility isn’t just a requirement, it’s a responsibility. FlightPath is built to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines, ensuring that all users, including those with visual or motor impairments, can fully engage with the platform.

FlightPath supports:

  • High-contrast visual themes

  • Dark mode compatibility

  • Fully navigable screens via keyboard and assistive tech

Accessibility extends beyond the student experience. Advisors and administrators also benefit from a consistent, low-clutter interface that prioritizes readability, usability, and clarity.

 

Data Security You Can Trust

FlightPath Academics utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS), in a single-tenant architecture (each client has their own cloud-based servers).

With FlightPath Academics, your data is secured by:

  • Encrypted data at rest and in transit

  • Daily encrypted backups

  • Data isolation between tenant institutions

  • Granular permissions for advisors, administrators, faculty, and students

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

  • Detailed audit trails

  • Built with NIST 800-53 controls in mind on a SOC 2 Type II platform

  • Industry-standard TLS 1.2+ connections

These are just some of the features that help IT and compliance teams meet the demands of accreditation reviews and audits.

 

Built for Customization and Compliance

We understand that no two institutions are alike. FlightPath’s open, modular architecture makes it easy to tailor the platform to your campus’s compliance needs.

  • Want to enforce stronger password rules or custom user access levels? We can do that.

  • Need localized translations for multilingual campuses? FlightPath’s Locale Module has you covered.

  • Have specific ADA or Section 508 mandates to meet? Our team will work with you to ensure compliance.
