Students can now log in to Navigate Student with their Virginia Tech credentials. Students with access to a personal availability link (PAL) or an appointment campaign link will be automatically routed to Navigate Student.

We have crafted materials to assist Advisors on describing how students can schedule an appointment, download the app, and discuss features within Navigate. They are linked below: 

Our support team is also available to assist with any questions or issues. You can email them at EABHelp@vt.edu.

In Navigate, kiosks enable self-service check-in to advising and tutoring appointments, study hall, and any other service locations or facilities for which the kiosk functionalities are active. For example, some institutions use kiosks to track computer usage at the library. Administrators could then pull a report on library computer use through the Navigate.

Any laptop or desktop with USB functionality can be used as a kiosk when a user with the correct permissions logs into the Platform and selects “Kiosk Mode” from a menu.

We have a limited number of card swipes, please inquire about this while requesting training for kiosk set-up.

Alerts and Cases within the platform allows for a more intentional interaction with students in the referral process. Anyone with the appropriate access can issue an alert on a student which sends a notification to the office being referred to. At this point the office being referred to will send communication to the student depending on their guidelines in the below chart. The available referral offices continue to grow each semester as we continue to enhance this functionality of the platform.
