Civitas IFA Website

Advisors need to gain permission to access Inspire for Advisors. To obtain access the supervisor will need to email Civitas@uta.edu. The email must include the email address and ID number for the employee that needs access. 

Once you log into Civitas IFA you will see the information below.

On this page, you will see general persistence information for ALL students. It is recommended to use the advanced filter tool to narrow dow the student population.

Steps on how to use the advanced filter tool is below.

1. Click on Advanced Filters.

2. Once selected, you will be able to narrow down your search by the available categories. You can select and apply as many filters as you would like. In the example below, you will see the college filter selected.

Reminder: You can add as many filters as you would like and then press the " Apply Filters" button.

3. Once you have applied all necessary filters, you will see a list of students that fall into the guidelines you set. The example below is set for College of Business students.

Reminder: You can continue to filter your results as needed. Advisors can use this tool to reach out to those with very low or low persistence levels. 

4. As an advisor, you have the option of emailing the selected students straight from Civitas or exporting your student list to a csv file. 

 

 

IFA provides valuable information regarding students, not just their persistence prediction. This section will go over individual student information.
