You and your connections can share information through this secure system to make sure that you are getting the support you need:

Student Support

• You can use the system to ask a question, share a concern or request assistance.
• You can find office and advising hours, schedule appointments and receive referrals to campus offices for additional help.

Information Exchange

• Your advising network (“Success Network”) can make referrals to connect you with other offices across campus to support your goals.
• You and your advising network (“Success Network”) can send secure notes to each other in order to better guide you down your path.
• Your instructors can provide course feedback to you - the feedback could be a kudos to recognize excellent work or a concern about your class performance (such as an attendance concern or a participation concern).

On-going data collection related to student-success outcomes

We want to understand what works for students and what doesn’t. Pathways allows for data collection of student success indicators. This data will be used to help Mount Holyoke improve how we work with students.

As you chart your individualized path at Mount Holyoke, the right people will know about your interests, plans, progress and well-being:

• Your International Relations professor learns of your interest in civil liberties and connects you with International Experiential Learning program within the McCulloch Center for Global Initiatives.
• Your academic advisor learns of your interest in exploring Pre-Health career options and connects you with an advisor in the Pre-Health office.
• Your faculty instructor suggests that you connect with your class dean around time management skills to help better balance your rigorous coursework and extracurricular involvement/activities.
• You have a question about your tuition bill, and you use the Raise Your Hand feature in Pathways to contact Student Financial Services.

Pathways helps bring this information together.
