NIU advisors, faculty and other staff can initiate follow up with students by issuing alerts using Navigate to help students remain in good academic standing. Follow up is coordinated among students’ academic advisors as well as coaches or counselors in CHANCE, SAAS or the University Honors Program.
In addition, the Center for Student Assistance, the Huskie Academic Success Center and Student Financial Advising Services provide outreach to students who have been identified as needing tutoring, writing assistance, food support or have other needs. If you know of a student in need of assistance, you can issue an alert/referral in Navigate. Check out this user guide for step-by-step instructions.
Navigate Staff is an online student success management system for advisors, faculty and staff. You can use it to:
- Identify and prioritize students who could benefit from additional assistance.
- Initiate conversations with students who may be experiencing academic or personal challenges.
- Simplify student intervention through campaigns.
- Issue referrals and early alerts/progress reports to initiate proactive student outreach.
If you’re logged in to Microsoft applications (i.e., Outlook) with your A-ID, you should be able to access Navigate Staff. If you need help, submit a Navigate help form.
