Summary: On this page, we discuss Action plans, Action-items, and Action-packs. How to create referrals and close them, as well as follow up and commenting Action-items and Action packs statuses.

AccuCampus Action Plans

Action Plans are a great mechanism for Center Admins to engage the Students in helping themselves work through a set of tasks that need to be completed on campus. Action Plans can be assigned to individuals who need to complete these tasks we call Action Items. Alternatively, you can also assign a set of Action Items which are grouped and called Action Packa to the Student that needs to complete these items. This feature works with our AccuCampus Student app and will keep them tracking their progress, earning badges for completing their tasks, accessing more features available to them such as the Student Compass, and more!

In order to see the Action Plan for a user click on Action Plan–> All Plan:

Action Items

How to Access: Action Plan –> Action Items

Purpose: AccuCampus uses Action Items for referrals and processes such as early alerts. It’s a simple process for faculty or other staff members (or even students) to flag a user for a variety of reasons, and each step of the process is tracked in AccuCampus. In many cases, alerts can be assigned or marked as completed automatically. Each Action Item can be hidden from inappropriate parties, and only authorized users can view individual student plans. Used to view/manage the individual Action Items in AccuCampus. These Action Items can be grouped into Action Packs or they can be assigned directly to an Action Plan for a Student.

In order to add a new “Action Item” click on “Create”, after entering the basic information about the “Action item”, you can also restrict access to it.

Action Packs

How to Access: Action Plan > Action Packs

Purpose: Within AccuCampus, individual Action Items can be combined into an Action Pack. Use this option to set up a series of steps that will be automatically assigned to a user one by one as each step is completed. Examples of this would be an Action Pack related to incoming Freshmen who must: 1-complete a form, 2-attend orientation, and 3-arrange housing, before starting school. Before creating an Action Pack, you will need to have created Action Items. Used to view/manage the Action Packs that consist of Action Items that need to be completed by Students in AccuCampus. Here you can add/remove Action Items to/from an Action Pack.
