  • Send messages directly to an academic advisor or other faculty members via email 
  • Create notification alerts/reminders for appointments and events to stay on top of important deadlines
  • Sync class schedules with a phone calendar and view entire schedules in calendar view
  • Find study buddies and join (or start) a study group with other students
  • Review progress toward graduation and check grades and GPA
  • View important college announcements and stay up-to-date

Students can access the platform using the HiveConnect link on the top of MyBaker, through the help center in Canvas, or through the Navigate Student mobile app.
