Academic advising
Degree audit is only part of effective advising
FlightPath puts degree audit and academic planning inside a broader advising environment.

FlightPath also creates term-by-term plans based on each student’s academic requirements and advising needs.
- Degree audit and academic planning
- Appointments, email, and text messaging
- Early alerts and student success tools
Built around your institution
Configuration is good. Customization is better.
Every institution has its own academic programs, advising processes, workflows, and requirements.
FlightPath handles complex curricula and adapts to the way your institution works. Customization is part of our approach. When an institution needs functionality that isn’t already part of FlightPath, we can develop it as part of our ongoing relationship.
If you need something different, we can build it.
- Custom programming when you need it
- Adaptable to your degree requirements & workflows
- Direct access to the FlightPath team
Choosing between the two
