Release 4 - KSU Advisor Center

As part of the university's ongoing commitment to improve academic advising, student retention and graduation rates, several new and innovative features are now available in the KSU Advisor Center in KSIS. These innovations provide some of the most advanced analytics and advising tools available anywhere.

One new feature is green, yellow and red icons which indicate a student's risk level. In this context, risk is determined by comparing students' K-State academic performance with 10 years of K-State students' historical academic performance data. The comparison is computed by a proprietary predictive analytics model developed by EAB. This new information can helpfully inform advisors and assist students in their academic career decision-making.

Additional enhancements in the KSU Advisor Center enable advisors to quickly access EAB's Student Success Collaborative Advisor Platform, which contains additional advising tools and analytics.

For more information about K-State's Student Success Collaborative and these KSIS enhancements, see the official announcement and change history page.
