Cut DFW rates in your gateway courses.

OVR IT is student-facing early engagement for retention: one clear next move that protects the grade, in the large early courses where D, F, and Withdrawal outcomes concentrate. Before-the-fail, not after-the-alert. FERPA-conscious, with the implementation scope agreed before launch.

01Student activation

A syllabus-aware start that turns current course work into one clear next move.

02Integration planning

Identity, LMS, data, and security requirements are scoped against your current systems before launch.

03Outcome measurement

Activation, completed grade-protecting moves, and comparison-cohort reporting defined before the pilot begins.

04FERPA-conscious data posture

Role-based access, minimal institutional views, and student consent before advisor sharing.

05Implementation ownership

A written launch plan names the people, responsibilities, support path, and stop conditions on both sides.

03 · IMPLEMENTATION

Start with one course. Prove the loop.

Define the cohort, the data boundary, and the outcome measure first. Students then verify a syllabus, receive one clear next move, and create evidence from the same action.
