The company focuses primarily on student tracking and as a result, Engineerica Systems, Inc. has highly functioning software products to offer educational institutions. This includes their cloud-based title AccuCampus, which is Engineerica’s newest creation designed to comprehensively increase student engagement through collaboration, management, and assessment of student resources. We are confident here at Engineerica Systems, Inc. that your institution will be highly satisfied with the AccuCampus product and its features, as well as with Engineerica’s professional support team. This team is comprised of the original programmers of the product, support technicians, and implementation specialists who are experts in both the software as well as the organizational needs of higher education institutions.

AccuCampus combines predictive analytics with comprehensive tracking features that not only allow your institution to analyze your services’ effectiveness, but also make it easier to encourage participation among students and staff. The resulting increase in student usage of resources will optimize your students’ ability to reach their academic goals. Furthermore, with the tracking data collected in AccuCampus, your institution will be better equipped to assess how resources impact your students’ success.

AccuCampus Features and Capabilities

In their 25 years of experience making student tracking software, Engineerica Systems, Inc. set out to create a new industry leader of student utilization systems. The goal for this solution was to continue to offer all of the student traffic management tools and reporting capabilities of their previous titles with added student facing features. By allowing students to navigate all the university resources, Engineerica believes the students will be more likely to take their success into their own hands. AccuCampus can be accessed from any device and students can explore the resources offered to them on any campus through web-based applications as well as mobile apps. Customized rules and restrictions guide students to resources that will be most helpful to their unique needs. AccuCampus also allows staff members to create more formal nudges which become individual educational action plans for students.

It is important to understand that AccuCampus is not a silo of tracking data built to track certain students. Instead, AccuCampus stands to assist every student in their quest to be successful in their higher educational goals. AccuCampus begins tracking student usage of resources the minute a prospect shows interest in your institution. Students can use the system throughout their time at your institution regardless of their enrollment status (with appropriate restrictions) and continue to use the system well after they have graduated. The usability of AccuCampus extends beyond students and staff and offers a simple, unobtrusive way to engage faculty, parents, and even community members. Collaboration between these stakeholders is key if student success is to be addressed properly.

Platform

The AccuCampus system is delivered to the customer via a web-based platform hosted by Engineerica Systems using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon Web Services has continuously exceeded uptime expectations and provides a plethora of security tools for our programmers. AccuCampus is developed and maintained by extremely qualified programmers with years of experience with our web-based tracking solutions.

Engineerica programmers ensure all of the back-end software is upgraded to the most recent versions to improve the overall system's performance, reliability and security. This includes Database Analysis Services which provide excellent performance, easy solution authoring, automated database management, enhanced relationships with bi-directional cross filtering, and parallel partition processing. The programing team maintains all of the services in order to continue to provide optimal database manageability, connectivity, usability and productivity.
 
Cloud security at Amazon Web Services is the highest priority. As AWS customers, we benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. AWS cloud continues to allow us to scale and innovate, while maintaining a highly secure environment.

Additional steps to ensuring security include the application of data encryption at rest. Data is at rest when it is stored on a hard drive. In this relatively secure state, information is primarily protected by conventional perimeter-based defenses such as firewalls and anti-virus programs. However, these barriers are not impenetrable. Higher educational organizations benefit from additional layers of defense to protect student data from intruders in the event that the network is compromised. Encrypting databases is one of the best ways to ensure the security of data is at rest. Additional steps can also help, such as storing individual data elements in separate locations which further complicates any attempt at gaining access to complete data. Ultimately, this measure further ensures there is little chance that even in the event of a successful breach of the standard security measures in place, the attacker would have access to the data as it is still secured through encryption.

Operating System

AccuCampus is entirely web based and can be accessed by any device with a browser and access to the internet, as well as through a mobile app for Apple and Android devices. 

Implementation and Support

The Implementation Team believes in allowing each college and university guided flexibility during the initial roll out. Our approach to implementation is garnered from extensive experience and we have learned that expecting an institution to function in a highly restrictive implementation process does not result in high levels of buy in. Not only is every college and university extremely unique, their service entities are also unique. The requirements to on-board a counseling center will be massively different from on-boarding a fitness center. These truths are why the Implementation Team provides highly structured services with many ways for the college and the entities to customize when and how implementation takes place. 

The Implementation Team will allow your institution to steer decisions in regard to how many and which service entities are brought into the system. The Implementation Team expects to provide you guidance in these decisions giving momentum and buy in priority.  Timing and sequence of your individual implementation is often governed by the following factors for each office/department: 
 
1.      Availability of data to be imported 
2.      Reporting needs 
3.      Relationship to other offices/departments 
4.      Complexity and security needs 
5.      Readiness of the office/department staff members 
6.      Number of users and intensity of training needed 

After the initial implementation process is complete, end users may contact support staff via an email ticketing system, or via the phone. AccuCampus licenses include unlimited technical and implementation support for the duration of the contract. There is no specific limit on how much time Engineerica’s staff can devote to a client’s AccuCampus account, however, limits may be in place for specific circumstances which require extensive time and effort. In these cases, additional charges would apply which would be discussed and agreed upon in advance.  

Some Terms

Before we start exploring AccuCampus, we will need to define some of the terms we use throughout this manual.

User

Any individual who has a role within AccuCampus is considered a user. This can include students, staff, faculty and even community members. Each user is assigned a role within the system which determines which features they can access. Roles are completely customizable and consist of up to 300 individual permissions for each individual role.

Course

Any regularly scheduled academic class is considered a course. We recommend that academic courses and their associated registration be imported into AccuCampus. This allows students to make appointments regarding specific courses, and faculty and staff to track class attendance.

Location

A location can be any department, center, room or entity on a college campus. Some examples include: a tutoring center, the English department, individual classrooms, etc. Locations can have services associated with them or not. If there are services associated with a location, it can appear in the Campus Compass and be used to search for appointment slots.

Service

A service is a resource that is offered by an entity on campus. This could include peer tutoring, assistance filling out the FAFSA or even using a computer lab.  Within the Campus Compass, services allow students to identify resources they may need and where to find them. Students can also search for and make appointments based on services, and Action Items can be tied to services.

Campus Compass

The Campus Compass, sometimes referred to as simply, "Compass," is the main engagement feature of AccuCampus. It is a customizable, interactive flowchart which allows students to guide themselves to the resource they need by starting with a broad category which identifies their general group of needs, followed by a more specific service, and finally a specific location. Students may access the Compass through the mobile app or browser versions of AccuCampus. In both the browser and mobile app versions, they are able to make appointments through the Compass, and contact and visit the website of specific locations. Furthermore, in the mobile app, students may receive turn-by-turn walking directions to each location.

Community

AccuCampus Communities is the place where students can ask questions of their peers, share class notes, use the classifieds section, take collaborative class notes, etc. The great advantage is that because it's part of AccuCampus, you can rest assured students interact only with other verified students from the university, making it safer for them.

Session Log

A session log is the official record of a meeting with a student. The log is created whenever a student signs into an appointment, a location or an event. Session Logs can also be created manually by users with permission. Within the session log, various information is recorded including the location the student attended, the course the student received assistance with, the service or services the student took advantage of, the staff member they worked with, notes entered by the staff member, and the in/out times. 

Sign In Station

A sign-in station is the method of capturing student tracking data. It is typically set up at the entrance to a center, department or event. Within AccuCampus, there are various options for setting up a sign-in station. These include a traditional computer based sign-in station with card reader, using the mobile app to scan QR or barcodes, or using a Bluetooth based beacon. Sign-in stations are browser based and can be scoped to specific locations, ensuring they are only visible to those staff members who need to see them.

Waiting Lines

Waiting Lines is one way AccuCampus allows centers and departments to manage their traffic. Every office/department has the ability to choose how/when a student can place themselves on a wait list, which can be based on the entire area, a certain service, or a certain staff member. The traditional method is to use the wait line through a kiosk, however AccuCampus also offers the ability to create a virtual wait line which students can join via the mobile app. Unique notifications are built into the process so that students can receive texts, emails, and/or push notifications in regard to their expected wait time and for when their turn is approaching.

Swipes

Swipes are the main tracking feature for AccuCampus. When a student signs-in to a location or an event, they “swipe” in. This allows the system to register their presence at the location or event and create a record for their visit.

Action Item

Action Items are referrals or tasks that may be assigned to students and other users. These may include instructions to take advantage of tutoring and other services, forms that the student needs to fill out, or specific conversations they need to have with an advisor or counselor. Each location determines the language of the Action Items that direct students to them, as well as which roles can view or assign each item. When an Action Item is assigned to a user, it becomes a part of that user's Action Plan.

Action Pack

Action Items can be bundled together and assigned as an Action Pack. This offers centers or departments the ability to create a ordered checklist of tasks for a student or other user to complete. Once a user is assigned an Action Pack, they will automatically be assigned the first Action Item and triggers can be set up on the system’s backend which will automatically assign the next step as each Action Item in the pack is completed.

Appointment

AccuCampus offers appointment-scheduling abilities. Each location determines its own settings for appointments, which includes whether the area takes appointments, whether students can make their own appointments or if they must be made by a staff member, how long appointments can be, how often students can have appointments, and how many no-shows are allowed.  In addition, each staff member’s shift can specify where the shift takes place, whether the staff member is available for walk-ins and/or appointments, and how many students the staff member can work with at a time. 

Walk-In

AccuCampus allows users to sign-in to a location or event without an appointment as a walk-in. Each location determines its own settings for appointments and walk-ins.

Risk Scoring

AccuCampus features machine learning-based predictive analytics which factors in demographic and academic data imported from other data silos, as well as the student’s tracking footprint and activity from within AccuCampus. This generates an algorithm that is unique to the institution and identifies potential risk factors that could lead to students not returning in the next term, and which recalculates every week as new information is added to the system. The risk score is viewable by staff with appropriate permissions, and can be used for outreach efforts.  

Ad Hoc Queries

Ad Hoq Queries allow you to design your own reports using data within AccuCampus. Once a query is created, it can be saved to be run multiple times. Basic knowledge of SQL language is required to create an Ad Hoq Query. 

Ad Hoc Reports

Ad Hoq Reports allow for customizable graphical interfaces, and can connect AccuCampus data with data from other silos, such as an Oracle database. Basic knowledge of Amazon Quicksight is required to build Ad Hoq Reports. Access to this feature is only available to one person per account. We recommend choosing a person who is familiar with AccuCampus and has a high enough security clearance at the institution to be able to handle sensitive data.

Media Items

AccuCampus offers Media Checkout, which allows for easy tracking and checking in/out of any items. Each college department/center/area is able to store a list of items to be checked out to users (generally but not limited to students). Users scoped to a location will be able to see items belonging to that location only. Item details include a unique code (which can be used for bar codes), title, type, location, notes, and shelf. When items are checked in and out and date/time is stored as well as the staff member who handled the transaction and the due date.

Seminars

Within AccuCampus, Seminars refers to events. Events can be set up manually as recurring or one-time events, or imported for easy onboarding. Sign-in options for events include traditional sign-in stations (also used for center or class tracking), beacons to allow students to sign in from their phones, or QR codes which are sent to students ahead of time, and then scanned by staff members upon entry.

Administrator

The role that performs set up and maintenance tasks for the system. You can have as many administrator roles as you wish. Users can have their roles further scoped to a location or locations, which further restricts their permissions within the system.

Student

The role typically assigned to students within the institution. The role is limited in what it can do and see.

Instructor/Faculty

The role typically assigned to any instructors or faculty within the institution. These roles are limited in what they can do and see and can be further scoped by location. We recommend importing instructors/faculty in order to track class attendance and to allow your instructors/faculty to participate in the early alert system. Instructors/faculty may also choose to utilize sign-in stations or manually create session logs for office hours or other needs.

Staff

The role is typically assigned to employees of the institution who are not students or instructors/faculty. These roles are limited in what they can do and see and are typically scoped by location.

Rules

Rules are used within AccuCampus to set automatic notifications, automatic Action Item assignment or completion, and to manage waitlists. Rules consist of a trigger, conditions (if applicable) and an action.

Attendance Restrictions

Within AccuCampus, attendance restrictions can be used to hide or show locations, services, and/or staff. This allows areas that should be restricted to specific populations to only be visible and open to those users with permission. Attendance restrictions are created by adding tags to a user, which are unseen by the end user, and which can be applied manually or automatically within the system. An example of an attendance restriction is a tutoring center that is only available to veterans. A tag would be placed on students with a veteran designation which would then be used to ensure that only veterans are directed to the location within the Campus Compass, and that only veterans can sign-in and utilize the services at the location.

Notifications

AccuCampus allows you to customize and send both triggered and on-demand notifications to students. Notifications can be sent via text message, email, or onscreen/push messages which can appear in the AccuCampus mobile app or on the browser version. Messages can be sent to students individually, or to user groups such as cohorts.

User Profile

User details are stored as profiles in AccuCampus and can contain standard data from the SIS, LMS, or other data silo. Profiles are unlimited and can be set as visible or invisible for any user role.  

QR Code/Barcode

A QR code is a machine-readable code consisting of an array of black and white squares, typically used for storing URLs or other information for reading by the camera on a smartphone.

A barcode is a machine-readable code in the form of numbers and a pattern of parallel lines of varying widths, printed on and identifying a product.

    1. Access to View Roles: these are roles that this role will be able to view within the system. Access to View Roles grants the role the ability to view the users with that role.
    2. Access to Edit Roles: these are roles that this role will be able to edit within the system.
  8. Features Policy: the features contained in this section are packs of permissions and is meant as an easy way for administrators to assign groups of permissions to a role. Users should be mindful of all of the permissions associated with each pack. We recommend using this feature as a starting point and then refine further using the Actions Policy.
  9. Actions Policy: this feature allows administrators to assign individual permissions to a role. It is meant as a way to refine the Features Policy.
  10. Click Save.

Implementation Imports

Once your features and roles are set up, you’ll need to create imports from your institution’s data silos, such as your SIS and LMS, containing the information you will want to be used for tracking. This includes a list of students, faculty, staff, services offered, courses offered, enrollment, etc. Below are our best practices for creating initial imports for set up. You can find additional information in AccuCampus by hovering over Advanced Options and selecting Imports.

In order to utilize AccuCampus to the fullest extent, you will need to import the following information at a minimum:
  1. Students
  2. Faculty
  3. Staff
  4. Profile Answers
  5. Services
  6. Courses
Depending on which aspects of AccuCampus your institution intends to use, you may also consider importing the following information versus manually building it by entity:
  1. User Groups
  2. Tags
  3. Compass Categories
  4. Seminars
  5. Media

General

Within this menu setting, you can find features for Users, Courses, Locations, Services, the Campus Compass, and Campus Community.

Users

To get to these features, from the Main Sidebar navigate to General > Users. From this page, you have several great features that you can access.

Create a New User

Typically users are imported; however, it is also possible to add individual users manually.

Before creating a new user, ALWAYS check to see if the user already exists in the system by searching their name, e-mail and user ID. Duplicate users can cause serious harm to your data!
  1. Click Create New.
  2. Enter the user’s First Name, Last Name, E-mail Address and Card Number. NOTE: we do not recommend assigning a password to users. Instead, we suggest allowing them to set the password themselves by clicking the “forgot password” link on the AccuCampus sign-in screen.
  3. If desired, enter the user’s Address and Phone Number. We recommend providing at least a mobile number so that the user may receive text alerts. If your institution allows this, the user can log into AccuCampus and add this information themselves.
  4. Add the Role(s) the user will have. A user must have at least one role, but they can have unlimited additional roles. To delete a role later, click the minus sign next to the role.

Attendance

Within this page, you are able to set global settings for attendance as well as location-based settings for it. The global settings are the default for the entire system. In order for a location to have settings different from the default, they must change the settings on their specific location by changing the scope.
