Nothing is more important to student success and fulfillment at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ than the human connections they make here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology can’t substitute for those connections, but it can make them easier, which is especially valuable if something’s weighing on your mind. That’s why ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Faculty and Staff utilize ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach: an online tool that will make it easier for students to reach out to their advisors and professors, and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Within ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach, you’ll find My Success Network. Here you’ll see all the staff and faculty that you’re working with during a particular semester \u2014 not just the people teaching your courses, but your advisors, department chairs, and others involved in your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can book appointments directly through ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach and your Success Network. As your connections change from semester to semester, My Success Network is updated right along with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach is your resource for contacting your faculty and staff connections. You can use it to make appointments with them. ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach can help you find the right people to guide you along, regardless of the topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And If you’re worried about a course \u2014 or about a health issue or anything else affecting your success at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ \u2014 just click on the “Ask for Help” icon to reach out to your connections, including your Student Support Advisor in Student Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach is a two-way street. Your connections will use it when they want to see you and to set you up with academic support resources. If your professor has noticed that you’ve hit a bump in the academic road, which happens to everyone at one time or another, they can “raise a flag,” notifying you and your advisor via email that additional support is called for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach is easy to learn and easy to find. In Lyceum and the Garnet Gateway, simply click on the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½Reach link. Or you can sign in through the dedicated URL r<\/a><\/em>each.bates.edu<\/em><\/a> using your standard ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
