Resources for Academic Advisors

Go, Plan, Succeed (GPS) System

• Student Success GPS is a suite of advising tools combining advising services, real-time data, analytics, and reporting to help advisors identify students in need of support and provide early interventions. GPS contains an advising and tutoring platform, a student interface, and an analytics and institution reporting platform. It works with SIS/MyPACK. This allows campus partners to access advising information to help with students that may need additional help through the Counseling Center, University Tutorial Center, etc.

Inter-College Transfer Program

• For students who plan to transfer in/out of CNR, please refer them to the Inter-College Transfer program, which will assign them to advisors who will help them through the transition. https://advising.dasa.ncsu.edu/inter-college-transfer-ict-students/
