What is Mapworks? Mapworks is a research-based, comprehensive, student retention and success system. Mapworks leverages predictive analytics to identify at-risk students.
The 360° View
Mapworks Risk Indicator Rooted in research Over 40 predictive models 23 years of data Customized models 40 predictive models: No campus is alike – if our standard models do not fit the data a campus presents, we will create a new model.
Mapworks Empowers Campus Professionals Identify at-risk students early in the fall term to have the greatest impact on student success and retention. Intervene with at-risk students by minimizing the time required to diagnose problems and target relevant issues. Continuously evaluate the at-risk status of students throughout the year. Engage students through personalized feedback.
