Finding Your Way with EAB Navigate

Veronica Reyes, staff writer

PVCC is avidly looking for ways to bring academic success and organization to improve student life. You may have noticed the Navigate Student link on your MyPVCC Dashboard or have already received messages from faculty through EAB Navigate.

However, EAB Navigate is so much more than a message board; Navigate is a new VCCS tool being used to gear students towards academic readiness throughout the semester.

Spearheading the utilization of EAB Navigate is Director of Student Success and Retention David Lerman. He said right now Navigate “is being rolled out in phases across the VCCS and also at PVCC so different features are being turned on as we have them ready for implementation.” 

Students can continue to expect messages sent by faculty about their course progress and attendance record in order to be more involved throughout the entirety of the course. They can also view reminders about important class enrollment and drop information every semester.

Lerman explains, “As we progress, students will be able to use features that will allow them to plan courses semester by semester in advance. The feature about student majors allows students to investigate more information about what kinds of careers are possible with their major.”

EAB Navigate is all about giving students more access and will readily prepare them for future course selections. This new tool in MyPVCC will be essential to helping students better understand their major and degree requirements as they progress through PVCC. Imagine not having to review SIS and the course requirement documents all at once when planning out your classes for next semester. While students can still depend on the hardworking advising department, EAB Navigate will give students across Virginia insight into their major and even the prospects ahead. 

Go ahead and take a look at your profile on Navigate just to see how simple and easy course planning will be. Soon enough, students will also be able to review course materials and textbooks as well as make appointments and meetings with faculties. EAB Navigate is soon to make student life at PVCC easier as a new platform that organizes all the facets of academic progress and planning. Learn about it now to be well-equipped for the future changes coming soon.
