Quick Polls

Quick Polls are a feature of Jayhawk GPS allowing automatic launching of student-focused questions on the initial page of the Navigate360 Student app or desktop browser. Academic Success Leadership partners with others on campus to identify quick poll questions which can help build awareness around different support. Student answers to Quick Polls can also help guide decisions and lead to direct outreach to students requesting support.
