Following A Student

If a student or group of students falls outside a caseload and students success staff would still like to be informed about anything happening with that particular student, the Following feature within Student Success & Engagement provides that opportunity.

By clicking the star icon above the student photo, that student is then added to the news feed of that student success staff member. Alerts for a student that is 'followed' (and not on your caseload) may or may not appear based on the "Alerts" setting on your "Settings" page (more here: User Settings).

The Olivia Student page showing action buttons for Message, Note, Phone, Follow, Alert, Excused Absence, and Share Resource, with Follow highlighted, along with profile details including program, ID, phone number, success coach information, academic advisor information, risk bar, and tabs for Profile, Term, Transcript, Test Scores, Finances, Notes, Meetings, Documents, and Academic Plan, followed by Early Alert entries.

In addition, Follow By Tag Rules may be assigned so that staff automatically follow a specific subpopulation group of students, identified by a Tag.

For instructions on how to create Follow-by-Tag rules within SS&E Engage, please click Automatic Following & Follow by Tag Rules.

Note: If "Follow" is not accessible, and the Student Success team is not displayed, this means that the student is not assigned any roles. Once assigned a "Student" role, these will appear.
