About Pathways/Navigate360 Student
Navigate360 Student is the student-facing experience of Pathways, which is used widely across Pitt by faculty, staff and academic leadership, to support advising/tutoring appointments, connecting students with various resources, centralizing communication between students and advisors, tracking student progress, and more!
Pathways gives advisors and support staff across Pitt one central place to share information about students, so that students get coordinated support throughout their Pitt journey.
Students utilize Navigate360 Student (the student-facing experience of Pathways) mainly for:
- Scheduling appointments with advisors and other support staff
- Receiving and viewing Early Progress Reports, including comments provided by Faculty, as applicable
- Accessing other features provided in the Navigate360 Student app (see the Navigate360 Student App page for further details)
What Staff Can See
To protect student information, access is limited by role at Pitt. The chart below shows what each role can view. In short:
- Advisors, coaches, and professional advisors in support offices (and their supervisors) see the most, including detailed academic information and progress reports.
- Career consultants, residence directors, and financial aid counselors see basic academic information and appointment summaries.
- Front desk staff, tutor coordinators, peer roles, and instructors see only what they need for their work, such as student course calendars or enrolled student names.
