A microcredential is a certification that represents a specific skill or knowledge area acquired through focused, often short-term training or learning. Microcredentials emphasize practical skills and competencies, and the microcredentials below are exclusively offered by the Student Success Team to enhance your skills in serving students.
Pathways Microcredential
This credential will provide you with a comprehensive overview of multiple areas of functionality in the Pathways platform. Whether you are an academic advisor, faculty mentor, program advisor, or other category of staff, become certified as a Pathways user to support students while maximizing use of the platform.
Facilitated via Canvas, the modules cover availability and campaigns, documentation, referrals, searching and reporting. While the course is offered as a four-week cohort, the modules can be completed asynchronously and in any order.
This microcredential is most relevant for faculty and staff who currently have access to the platform, beyond the level of access that is provided to all instructors. You can expect to spend approximately four to six hours to complete the four modules and earn the microcredential.
Registration is open for the next Pathways cohort.

The insights and strategies I gained from the course have significantly strengthened my ability to support our students more effectively. With a deeper understanding of key concepts and practical tools, I feel better equipped to help guide students along their educational journey.
Thank you once again for investing in professional learning opportunities like this. I look forward to applying what I’ve learned.
