Using Navigate for Attendance and Progress Reports

What is Navigate?

Kirtland faculty are required to use the GradesFirst program to monitor student's early attendance/participation, complete progress reports for struggling students, and complete the Enrollment Census Data Campaign for Financial Aid. The GradesFirst tool helps identify struggling students early on so they can get the help they need.
