Task: This article contains a brief overview of Navigate with links to important articles for help with the application.
Instructions:
Navigate is currently being utilized as a resource for academic advising and tutoring. It allows for students to make appointments with advisors whether they are assigned to the particular faculty/staff member or not. Advisors are also able to record notes within the application that are visible to other advisors, creating a more collaborative and efficient advising experience.
Getting started
Initial access is granted to Faculty and Staff who have academic advising responsibilities for undergraduate students. If you are unable to log in to Navigate and need access please request an account through the accounts management system. EAB: Navigate - Requesting an account
Once your account has been approved you will use your school username and password for access
Currently, this application is being used for academic advising. In the future it will also be used to evaluate success markers to aid in retention practices.

Students tab
When you first log in you will see a list of your assigned students. Depending on your role, you will be able to see your list of assigned advisees. This list is fed from Banner and will change each semester. Users of the system can search for any student but will also be limited by role. Any person who is designated an advisor can view and add notes to any student, not just their assigned students. To search for a student use the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of page. See EAB (Navigate) - Quick search
For more information on the students tab please see EAB (Navigate) - My Assigned Students
Setting availability
One of the main features of this application is the ability for students to set appointments with you. In order for the student to see your availability you must set your availability in the application.
For help with this please see EAB (Navigate) - Setting availability
Syncing Outlook Calendar
This application has the ability to sync events with your Outlook calendar. This will allow automatic management of calendar events from Navigate to your calendar and from your calendar to the Navigate. This feature makes it very easy to manage your advising times and will prevent you from having to update your advising availability in the event you have to change your calendar. These changes are immediate.

Appointment campaigns
Campaigns allow for greater manageability of student appointments. An example of an event that would utilize this feature is registration. Campaigns give you the ability to create advising windows (please schedule an appointment between date X and date Y) that contain certain criteria and provides a scheduling link to all students within the campaign. This makes it easier for your advisees to schedule time with you during the campaign window.
