Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

TutorTrac provides a software tool for the Center for Student Success.  Like other departments in the college, the CSS' software tool is departmentally utilized (there is no unity between other student support or services offices), which creates a silo-effect of operations, data, and the student experience.  This also creates duplication across departments of software functionality, as well as potentially overlapped budget spending.  The CSS continues to prioritize cross-divisional collaboration by exploring ways to create a more holistic and efficient student experience--in this case by examining software tools that prioritize students' college-wide experience.  Centralized software solutions will allow the college to streamline current operations and better support the Guided Pathways and Title V initiatives, which will enhance student-facing processes and deliver more proactive, holistic support.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

In order to best support the initiatives and goals of Guided Pathways and Title V, we need the software solution that can operationalize SUNY Orange's ongoing structural and cultural changes.
