Academic advising plays a crucial role in student success, yet many institutions struggle with systems and workflows that make the process harder than it should be. Advisors spend valuable time juggling spreadsheets, tracking down information, and helping students make sense of complex degree paths. FlightPath simplifies that experience.

It is a budget-friendly, modern advising and degree audit platform designed to help colleges and universities make advising more efficient, consistent, and student-centered. Here are five common challenges and how FlightPath helps address them:

1. Outdated or Disconnected Systems

Advisors often rely on legacy SIS add-ons or manual tools that do not communicate well. FlightPath integrates cleanly with your existing Student Information System so all course data and degree requirements stay current and accessible in one place.

2. Students Confused About Degree Progress

Many students are unsure which courses they still need or how dropped or failed classes affect their graduation timeline. FlightPath provides a clear degree audit and visual progress tracker that show exactly what is complete, in progress, and remaining.

3. Too Much Administrative Work

Advisors spend too much time entering notes, sending reminders, and managing forms. FlightPath automates many of these tasks with built-in note-taking, messaging, and alert features so advisors can focus on meaningful student interactions.

4. Inconsistent Advising Across Departments

Different programs often use different tools and processes, leading to inconsistent experiences for students. FlightPath provides a unified platform that maintains consistency across campus while still allowing for program-level customization.

5. Limited Data for Improvement

Without clear data, it is hard to measure advising effectiveness or identify students who need extra support. FlightPath’s reporting and analytics tools give administrators visibility into advising activity, student progress, and trends that inform better decisions.

A Better Way to Advise, At a Lower Price Point

FlightPath helps institutions of all budget sizes to modernize advising by reducing administrative work, improving communication, and giving students the clarity they need to stay on track.
