HuskySuccess
Overview
HuskySuccess offers the Bloomsburg University community – including faculty, staff, undergraduate and graduate students – access to a robust student success system that can flag students at risk, pinpoint areas of concern, and connect students with valuable services, resources, and early interventions.
We look forward to supporting your goals and success – Onward!
Bloomsburg University’s HuskySuccess platform, powered by Hobsons, is the suite of academic advising tools selected to integrate with our learning management system and student information system to deliver advising notes, progress reports, and online scheduling of advising appointments. In May 2020, the initial HuskySuccess release provides early alert, case management, and intervention capabilities. A phased rollout will introduce additional functionalities in the future that will help students and advisors determine degree plans and provide data analytics to enhance efforts towards a smoother path for our students to achieve their academic goals and beyond.
