Civitas Learning

Civitas Learning is a student success platform that provides colleges and universities with visibility into the student lifecycle, helping them improve academic planning, strengthen advising and optimise educational programmes. Founded in the United States, the company works with a large number of higher education institutions, applying data science to institutional data to understand what helps students persist and graduate. The problem it addresses is that universities hold vast amounts of data in student information systems, learning management systems and other sources, yet often struggle to translate it into timely action for individual students or to evaluate which interventions actually work. Retention and completion rates suffer as a result. Civitas Learning’s approach is to unify institutional data, generate predictive insights about student persistence and connect those insights to advising, degree planning and scheduling workflows, enabling staff to focus support where it will make the greatest difference.

The platform includes predictive analytics that identify students at risk of not persisting, with context about the factors involved, and tools for advisers to manage caseloads, record interactions and coordinate outreach campaigns. Degree planning and course scheduling capabilities help students map efficient pathways to graduation and help institutions align course offerings with demand, reducing bottlenecks. Impact analysis tools use statistical methods to measure the effectiveness of initiatives such as tutoring, first-year programmes and financial aid interventions, supporting evidence-based decisions about resource allocation. The platform integrates with student information systems such as Ellucian, Oracle PeopleSoft and Workday Student, as well as learning management systems including Canvas, Blackboard and D2L. Civitas Learning serves community colleges, public universities and private institutions, primarily in the United States, and supports partnerships with state systems.
