There are times when you absolutely need to get important information in front of the right people, but breaking through the noise can be difficult, especially when students and staff are inundated with announcements that may or may not apply to them.
Announcements
Surface important alerts to specific user groups at the top of their main view. Path integrates with your emergency alert system to help spread your most important alerts ASAP.
Notifications
Users see a familiar notifications alert icon when they log into their portal, naturally grabbing their attention. Because Path offers a native mobile app, you can take advantage of mobile push notification capabilities.
Tasks
Whether you’re a student, faculty or staff, everyone has a million things to do. Keeping it all straight and making sure everything is done on time is a challenge in a college setting. Path Tasks surfaces the most pressing needs and keeps everything on track, no matter which system the task originates from.
We all know students create their own social media groups for easier collaboration.
Now you can give students, faculty and staff the same great functionality in your
controlled Path environment. Like most social platforms, Path is device agnostic —
so they can connect from anywhere.
Groups aren’t just for socializing. Create a hub of interest where users can post relevant links, share files and videos, conduct polls, chat, comment and more. Groups can be as broad (Sophomore Class) or as granular (a capella fans from Ohio) as you and your students want.

- Honors Program
- Tutorial Assistance Network
- Writing Center
- Alumni Association
