At Indiana State, we are implementing a unified digital platform that centralizes academic advising, career services, mental health, and financial aid data to enable coordinated outreach, proactive support, and real-time analytics. This will ultimately advance student success across the University.

Our Purpose

We are dedicated to identifying, selecting, and launching an integrated digital platform that unifies academic advising, career services, mental health, financial aid, and all other forms of student support data. This platform will empower the University to deliver coordinated outreach, initiate proactive interventions, and utilize real-time analytics to drive student advancement and success.  

Our unified platform will seamlessly integrate with essential existing technologies, while enabling us to retire redundant systems and consolidate operations into a single, highly efficient solution.  

Objective

Through Initiative 8, Indiana State will research and ultimately select an integrated digital platform focused on academic advising, career services, mental health, financial aid, and other student support resources. Toward this end, the University will:

  • Facilitate coordinated outreach, proactive interventions, and real-time analytics to support student progression.
  • Integrate these goals with selective technologies.
  • Retire redundant technologies and condense operations into one system.

Key Actions 

The University will take the following actions in support of Initiative 8:

  • Configure and optimize Slate’s Student Success module with custom dashboards, alerts, and workflows, and integrate the platform with Banner and other critical systems to provide a comprehensive student view.
  • Onboard and train faculty, staff, and advisors on platform use and data privacy protocols, prioritizing processes with the highest student impact for digital transformation.
  • Monitor usage metrics and solicit feedback for continuous improvement.
  • Implement new workflows by optimizing the features of existing platforms (e.g., Slate, Banner), leveraging AI for efficiency.
