Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Augmented Advising to Advance Student Success

Session Abstract: AI enables us to make a greater impact at a lower marginal cost by elevating staff to handle the highest-leverage conversations while providing 24/7 support for routine needs. Focusing on APR/SAP is practical and measurable: - Cumulative GPA ≥2.0; Pace ≥67% of attempted credits; Maximum timeframe ≤150% of program length. Staying SAP‑compliant helps maintain financial‑aid eligibility, making APR a proactive indicator for retention and completion.
What We Will Present (Technique/Model). A human‑centered advising model that integrates:
1) AI Assistants & Chatbots for policy lookups, form checks, scheduling, and 24/7 FAQs
2) Predictive & Prescriptive Analytics that flag SAP risks (GPA/pace/timeframe), course momentum, and financial‑aid deadlines
3) Career AI Tools that translate a student’s major/skills into résumé feedback, job matching, and interview prep
4) Advisor Copilots that prioritize outreach lists, draft empathetic emails, and suggest referrals.

Keywords: AI-Advising, Academic Progress Rate (APR)/SAP, Predictive analytics, and graduation rates.
