Civitas Advising is a student-support platform for colleges and universities, bringing student information, advising workflows, and planning tools together. Advisors can review profiles containing academic details, advising notes, and alerts, then identify students for outreach using factors such as persistence likelihood or incomplete schedules. Advising teams can coordinate with shared notes, dynamic student lists, alerts, and outreach. Advisors and students can build degree plans and class schedules together; students can also book appointments and message advisors through a portal. The platform lists more than 100 integrations, including student information systems, learning management systems, and recruitment tools. Advising is available through a mobile website, while the separate Inspire student app is native for phones. Civitas says it supports institutional single sign-on and does not sell data to third parties. Pricing is by request; subscriptions are annual, commonly multi-year, and depend on institution size, scope, and integrations. Additional integrations may add fees.
