How Data Empowers UNC Asheville's Crisis Response and Student Retention

UNCA implemented Civitas Learning's Student Impact Platform to transform reactive student support into a proactive, data-informed model. The centralized system enabled real-time monitoring of at-risk students and rapid crisis response during Hurricane Helene while improving retention outcomes.

The challenge

Disconnected systems across multiple platforms prevented visibility into student needs, limiting the ability to provide timely interventions before problems escalated.

The approach

Integrating all student data into one unified platform with real-time insights, enabling targeted outreach, daily advisor monitoring of risk indicators, and streamlined communication across support teams.

In their words

“The ability to quickly send a text with a check-in link instead of spending hours manually reaching out was a game-changer.”
Regine Criser, Ph.D.Director of Student Success, UNC Asheville
