The Universities of Wisconsin administration is partnering with UW institutions and EAB to implement the Navigate360 student success management system. Navigate is EAB’s advising workflow and student planning management software that UW universities are incorporating into their student success and advising programs. The project empowers students with information and tools and helps advisors, faculty and staff build more effective, timely support to improve student outcomes.

While Navigate360 users extend beyond advisors, this project supports Universities of Wisconsin 360 Advising priorities and strategies to expand high quality, proactive advising to improve retention and guide students to graduation.

Navigate360 Project Objectives

• Facilitate, leverage, and enhance the EAB services to foster networking and sharing of best practices to drive student success
• Leverage Universities of Wisconsin system resources to partner with EAB for change management and successful expansion of the use of Navigate360 functions
• Promote the development of a common set of data and analytic models across institutions to support data-driven processes and decisions and ensure improved student success

System Investment

• UW System Board of Regents approved the initial investment in December 2018 to lower the cost to four UW institutions already using the EAB system at the time and to provide an affordable entry for eight additional UW institutions to adopt Navigate, which now is called Navigate360.
• The Board of Regents in June 2023 approved the renewal and extension of the EAB contract for another five years from Dec. 31, 2023, through Dec. 30, 2028.
• The investment aligns with the UW System 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, including to “champion student success across the higher education life cycle.”
• Navigate360 supports advising—particularly 360 Advising strategies to improve retention and graduation—as well as enrollment management and the provision of strategic data to administrators, faculty, and staff at all levels.

What users say about Navigate360

“It’s really helpful when Navigate gives me notifications on the home page for when I need to do things. The progress report function is also really helpful, so that I can know how I’m doing in my courses.”

“Navigate has allowed us to break down multiple silos. It allows us to quickly alert other staff on campus about students who need extra support. We continue to increase the number of notifications issued each year in an effort to get students connected quickly.”

“I have participated in the Early Alert system for the past several years for my Psych 101 (General Psychology) class. This is a large class (more than 200 students) and one in which students can easily ‘fall through the cracks.’ I have found the Early Alert system to be quite effective in letting at risk students know that: 1) I have noticed that they may be struggling and 2) I care about their success at UW Oshkosh. Ultimately, I strongly encourage faculty to take the time (it doesn’t take long!) to complete the Early Alert system forms.”

“Navigate has allowed us to coordinate student support in new ways and collaborate with offices across the university. The platform connects faculty concerns, advising conversations, and student services, fostering and improving our ecosystem of student support.”
