Share free Nanook Navigator app with students today
The Office of Student Success would like to remind advisors, instructors, and staff that the Nanook Navigator (Navigate Student) Mobile App is free for all active students to download.
This technology requires minimal effort from advisors, instructors, and staff. Advisors can assist our team by sharing the good news with their advisees, setting up appointment availability, and syncing their alaska.edu calendar. Instructors and staff can also assist us in sharing information about the app with their students.
The Navigate Student mobile app is a mobile advisor that assists students from admissions to graduation by connecting them with instructors, support staff, and peers across UAF and our rural campuses. The app also supports engagement and collaboration through the embedded student success features seen above.
We are asking you to please share awareness and encouragement with your students throughout the semester. Ways you might share with students are…
- Have the students download the app during appointments (Navigate Student in the apps)
- Post the Navigate Student flyer or photo to your department website
- Post the Navigate Student flyer around your office (Jessica Skipper has hard copies and can deliver as requested)
- Send out an email
- Add the QR code (Navigate Student) and desktop link to your email signature
- Post an announcement in Canvas (Common Page available)
- Post the PowerPoint slides in an upcoming lecture
- Share the Facebook or Instagram photo as a post on your department account
Student Success Goals:
- Provide efficient access to student support teams
- Encourage self-serving behavior
