Navigate - for faculty

Salisbury University has launched the Navigate platform for faculty, staff, and advisors.  Driven by data and campus connections, the goal of Navigate is to support students on their path to timely degree completion.  Use this Quick Start Guide to make the most of your experience.

As a new user, the first thing you need to do is set up availability in Navigate so that students can schedule appointments to see you – or know when you are available for walk-ins. Separate (but overlapping) times can be set up for Program Planning, office hours, research mentorship, etc.  Note that locations and services can be updated upon request.  Contact Melissa Boog, Heather Holmes, or Sarah Timko-Jodlbauer if you would like to see something added.

Adding Program Planning Availability

• Log into Navigate
• Go to Staff Home (The title at the top of the page may default to Staff Home.  If not, click the triangle beside the title to choose this option.)
• Go to My Availability tab

• Go to Actions and choose Add Time from the dropdown
• Click on the days you are available to meet (they will darken when chosen)
• Choose the times that you are available to meet on those days
• Choose a Range of Dates (Example: Fall program planning runs from October 12-16 and October 19 – 23, but you can certainly make yourself available outside of those dates.)
• Click on Appointments and Campaigns
• Select Advising as your Care Unit
• Select Virtual Meeting via Zoom as your Location (Or choose Faculty Advisor’s Office if you want to meet in person)
• Choose the appropriate Services
• Include your personal SU Zoom link (which will be given to you when you set up your personal SU Zoom account) in the Special Instructions box
• Save
• Repeat if you have other times you would like to be available

Adding Office Hours Availability

• Log into Navigate
• Go to Staff Home (The title at the top of the page may default to Staff Home.  If not, click the triangle beside the title to choose this option.)
• Go to My Availability tab
• Go to Actions and choose Add Time from the dropdown
• Click on the days you are available to meet (they will darken when chosen)
• Choose the times that you are available to meet on those days
• Choose the current term
• Click on Appointments, Drop-Ins, and Campaigns
• Select Faculty Office Hours as your Care Unit
• Select Virtual Meeting via Zoom as your Location (Or choose Faculty/Professor’s Office if you want to meet in person)
• Choose the appropriate Services
• Include your personal SU Zoom link (which will be given to you when you set up your personal SU Zoom account) in the Special Instructions box
• Save
• Repeat if you have other times you would like to be available

Other Available Times Options… 

Copy Time - To copy a time, select the time you would like to copy and then click the Copy Time button. The availabilities will be copied and a dialog will open allowing you to make edits or to save your newly created availability.  (If your original time had a range of dates, you will have to update them in the new version.) 

Delete Time- To delete your time, simply select the time and click the Delete Time button.

Note: Inactive availabilities are highlighted in red in the Times Available grid.  That simply means that we are outside of that time period.  However, students can see the times you have set for the future and are able to set appointments for those times before they are active. 

Other Reasons to Set Availability?

If you would like to set availability for reasons other than Program Planning and Office Hours, we may be able to add that functionality.  Please contact Melissa Boog, Heather Holmes, or Sarah Timko-Jodlbauer with your request.
