Advisor Followup

GradesFirst helps you, the advisor, prioritize WHO needs help out of the multitude of students you work with everyday. Who are the students that are have the greatest needs right now. Who might need to be on a watch list and monitored periodically.

GradesFirst also helps you to determine WHAT to do to best help each individual student. Our tools empower the advisor to improve communication, organize activities, and simplify tasks like scheduling, completing progress reports, following up on action items, and managing limited resources.

As a student advisor, you are required to assist with hundreds of different problems each day. It’s not just about getting a tutor for a math class or talking through problems with a faculty member. In an advising role, you are the first responders to students in crisis. Your successful intervention can help keep a student in school and put them on the road to graduation. But you can’t do your job with students if you are bogged down in administrative tasks or spending time chasing faculty to complete progress reports. Tallying study hall hours and tracking down tutors.

GradesFirst workflow and closed loop processes allow you to maximize the time you spend with students. Making a difference. Every day.
