Alamo Colleges District created a guided pathways model with two major components. First, AlamoADVISE connects students with academic advisors and includes benchmarks for key decisions like when to pick a major, thus ensuring all students receive consistent information that supports completion. The college also has AlamoINSTITUTES, which includes six career pathways that provide a plan to complete a program in the Alamo Colleges District or transfer to another college or university. The pathways are mapped to a central system that can be accessed by a student at any time online, avoiding the need to take typical working hours to meet with an advisor.
