Navigate is a Student Success Management System (SSMS) for higher education that helps schools proactively manage student success and retention. At UWL we aim to use the tools provided in the Navigate platform to create a Coordinated Care Network to support the needs of our students.
The Navigate Student app is available for students at UWL to support your academic experience. You can schedule advising and tutoring appointments, view your class schedule, check out academic holds, and more! The App can be downloaded at anytime by any UWL student. However, we particularly encourage it for undergraduates. Please see below for information on how to use the app.

Progress reports allow instructors to provide students with feedback that will contribute to their overall success as a college student. These progress reports are designed to:
- provide feedback about academic progress concerns
- increase communication between students and their instructors
- remind students of UWL resources for student success.
- Not all instructors may provide feedback via progress reports, use is highly encouraged, but is voluntary. Students are encouraged to speak to their instructors if they have questions about their progress in a course.
