Navigate Best Practices & Help Guides

The best practices outlined are to provide consistent student experiences and recordkeeping among the users.  The Navigate Help Guides should be used to train new users & for reviewing how to perform a task in Navigate, prior to contacting Learning Platforms.

If there's a guide that you think would be helpful to create, email Michael Stokes.

• 1. Submitting a progress report (also known as mid-term alerts) during the Progress Report Campaign period using the link provided to your email

  Faculty who have an "advisor" role in addition to "professor" will need to first click the downward arrow next to "Staff Home" on the home page, and change to their Professor Role.  The video below picks up from there.

   

• Syncing Your Outlook Calendar

• Setting Up Your Availability

• Setting Up Your Availability - Entering Zoom Link or Phone # into Availability

  When setting up availability, users can add their Zoom link or phone number to their availability and it will send this information in the student's appointment confirmation email.

  

   

   

• Quick Search & Advanced Search

• Personal Availability Link

  Users can find their designated personal availabilty link under the Available Times table on the My Availability tab beginning March 1, 2021.  The image below shows the location of the link. This link is to your availability that you opt to include in the personal link when setting up your availability.

  

• Make an appointment workflow guide

  It's important for students scheduling appointments, that the times that show up in the scheduler are local time for where you are.  When the appointment is scheduled, and an email confirmation is sent to the student, the time is in Eastern time zone based on the location of the Coral Gables campus.
