GradesFirst

GradesFirst is a software platform designed to help educational institutions manage student academic progress and success. It typically integrates with existing student information systems (SIS) to provide a centralized view of student data. The platform aims to identify students who may be at risk of falling behind by analyzing various academic indicators such as course grades, attendance, and assignment completion.

Key features often include early alert systems that notify faculty, advisors, or support staff when a student shows signs of academic difficulty. This allows for timely intervention and support. GradesFirst can also facilitate communication between students and their academic support network. Students may have access to dashboards that provide insights into their own performance and progress towards their academic goals.

The system can be used by a variety of stakeholders within an institution, including professors, academic advisors, student success coaches, and administrators. By providing data-driven insights, GradesFirst seeks to improve student retention rates and academic outcomes. Its implementation is intended to streamline the process of identifying and supporting students in need, ultimately contributing to a more proactive and effective student support system.
