For universities, advisors and student success teams
Students who know what's due are students who stay enrolled
Advising catches problems a few times a semester. CollegeOS works in between: it turns your official campus dates and each student's own syllabi into one plan they see every day, and points them back to your registrar, advising and aid pages instead of a group chat.
Explore CollegeOSNothing to procure to start
Students set it up themselves in minutes. No LMS or SIS project required; Canvas is optional and student-initiated.
Support for first-generation students
The steps nobody explains — add/drop, aid renewal, holds, advising appointments — become dated items instead of assumed knowledge.
Study support between advising visits
Daily study suggestions tied to real coursework, with the student's own confidence ratings rather than guesswork.
Families involved appropriately
Students choose what a parent or mentor sees, keeping institutional privacy obligations intact.
Built to carry across terms
Academic history, credits and routines persist from move-in to graduation.
Questions people ask
How does this support student retention and first-year success?
Most students who struggle aren't failing the material first — they lose track of deadlines, miss add/drop and study without a plan. CollegeOS puts every deadline on one calendar, suggests study work daily, and surfaces campus dates from your own official pages.
Does it require an LMS or SIS integration?
No. Students can connect Canvas themselves, or simply upload their schedule and syllabi. Nothing needs to be installed by the institution to get started.
Where do the campus dates come from?
From your institution's public pages — registrar, academic calendar, advising, financial aid — and answers cite the page they came from, so students are pointed back to official sources instead of rumors.
What about student privacy and FERPA?
Data belongs to the student's own account. Students decide which categories, if any, a parent, mentor or tutor can see, and the institution is not given access to individual records.
Can advisors or tutoring centers use it with students?
Yes. A tutor or coach can be invited by the student with access limited to one course and an access end date.
