Professor Home screenshot

Faculty members with Preceptor or Professor roles can search for any student using the search menu located at the top of the screen. You can search using either:

  • Student's first and last name
  • Z number

Upon accessing a student's profile, you'll see a comprehensive overview that includes:

  • Their current academic standing
  • Any active cases or alerts
  • A record of their campus meetings and appointments
  • Their support team members, including:
    • Assigned preceptor
    • Current semester professors
    • Additional academic advisors

Located beneath the student's photo, you'll find the quick action menu where you can take various actions related to that student.

  • The student's assigned preceptor
  • Current semester professors
  • Additional support staff working with the student

The Appointments tab, found under More, shows all of the student's appointments - both upcoming and past. For appointments where notes were taken, you can select the Details button next to that specific appointment to review the session notes.

Academic Enagagement

Before financial aid is disbursed, the University must be able to document that a student has begun attendance in the courses for which they will receive funds. We receive this information from faculty members after the add/drop period each semester. This process is called Confirmation of Academic Engagement (formerly Roster Verification). Visit the Office of Financial Aid's Academic Engagement page for more details on what constitutes Academic Engagement.


Alerts and Cases

Alerts

Alerts serve as an early warning system to identify students who might need additional support or attention. When faculty or staff notice potential concerns during their interactions with students, they can issue alerts to flag these situations.

Students can be flagged for various reasons, such as risk of losing financial aid, need for academic support through tutoring, or expressing intentions to withdraw from the institution. It's important to understand that raising an alert doesn't automatically trigger formal action - it simply helps identify students who might need attention.

However, in cases where more structured support is needed, certain alerts will initiate a case management process. These cases are then directed to specific departments or staff members who will follow up with appropriate interventions and support services.


Appointment Campaigns (Precepting Appointments)

Appointment Campaigns let faculty/staff reach out to specific student populations (preceptees) and encourage them to schedule appointments.

In order for Appointment Campaigns to work successfully, you must have both calendar sync and availability set up, as well as have the ability to create appointment campaigns. You also need to have access to Advanced Search to create a list of students for your campaign.

Common Availability Questions

No. If you want students to schedule with you or ANY faculty/staff member through Ospreys Navigate, you must have availability configured.
Calendar Sync lets Ospreys Navigate know when you are unavailable due to calendar conflicts. It does not indicate when, where, and for what services you are available. These are all important components of appointment scheduling.

Not if you have set up Ospreys Navigate's Calendar Sync to work with your external calendar, such as Google or Outlook. If your sync is set up, calendar conflicts added to the external calendar prevent students from scheduling during these times even if it is during an active availability.

If you haven't synced your professional calendar with Ospreys Navigate properly or recently, calendar conflicts might not be up to date in Ospreys Navigate.

Besides blocking off the break time on your Outlook calendar, you could put in your Additional Details for your Availability that “appointments will be 25 min long”, so the student would know the appointment would be from 12-12:25, for example, and then you would have a 5 minute break.

Common Appointment Campaign Questions

The expiration time is 11:59 PM of the specified date/12:00 AM the next day in the institution’s time zone. This means that if the expiration date specified in Ospreys Navigate is 8/24/2025 then Appointment campaign expires on 8/25/2025 at 12:00 AM.

When a student cancels a campaign appointment in advance, the Ospreys Navigate platform moves this student from the Appointments Made tab to the Appointments Not Yet Made tab. The platform also removes the canceled appointment from the advisor’s calendar so it's available to another campaign student.

Appointment Campaign links are individual to each student, so you cannot forward them.

No! A student will receive the Appointment Campaign request in their email. The link within the email will send the student to a scheduling screen very similar to the workflow described in this article - except the student will not need to login to the platform to schedule the appointment. If the student happens to login to Ospreys Navigate, they will be prompted to schedule an appointment in response to the request. But keep in mind that logging into Ospreys Navigate is not required to schedule an appointment in response to a campaign.

Mark that student as no-show as you would with any other type of appointment, by unclicking the This person attended checkbox in the Appointment Summary report. These students display as “no-shows” on the Appointment Campaign dashboard. Once marked as no-show, the student can use the original appointment campaign link to schedule again within the campaign.

If the STUDENT cancels for themselves, then the link should be active again. If the appointment is canceled for the staff member in the appointment, then the link does not go back to active. This is a known issue, so make sure to encourage students to cancel their own appointments if they are unable to attend.

You should be able to associate that student’s appointment to your campaign using the Eligible Appointments tab on the Appointment Campaign page.

The Eligible Appointments tab lets you associate appointments that should be counted toward the Campaign, but were scheduled without using the Campaign link. To do this, navigate to the specific Appointment Campaign, and open the Eligible Appointments tab. Select the appointment you want to associate with the Campaign. Choose Associate Appointments from the Actions menu. The appointment is then associated with the campaign.

Note that appointments are only eligible if they have the exact same Location and Service as the Appointment Campaign. The student must also be on the campaign list.
