Flag and Support At-Risk Students

By the time a struggling student reaches out, it's often too late to change the outcome. Bolt agents monitor academic performance and engagement patterns continuously, surface early risk signals before they escalate, and reach out proactively — so your advisors intervene at the right moment, not after the fact.

Add and Organize Your Advising Team

Add the staff who advise students and group their caseloads by major, program, or any structure your school uses. Then define a few common follow-up actions for when concerns arise. This foundation helps Element451 guide advisors and AI agents to act quickly and consistently.

Connect Academic Data

Connect your academic and enrollment data from your SIS and LMS using Element451's native integrations — including the Bolt Agent Plugin for Ethos, which pulls real-time SIS data directly into agent workflows. Once connected, the platform surfaces early signs of academic struggle like low grades, missed logins, and disengagement patterns before they become crises.

Set Up a Bolt Agent for Inbound Questions

Use Your Agent to Reach Out Proactively

Launch a Bolt Agent Job with a clear goal and your Academic Advisor agent gets to work immediately. It reaches out to every student showing a specific risk signal and keeps following up until each one has engaged with support. No waiting to be asked. No students falling through because the timing was off. At-risk students get help before your advisor even knows there is a problem.

Supporting At-Risk Students Is Just One Part of the Student Success Journey

Bolt agents work across every stage of the student experience — from orientation through advising, career exploration, and graduation. The same platform that catches students falling behind also keeps the rest of your student body moving forward.

Why an Agentic Approach Works

Supportive. Proactive. Always On.

Bolt agents monitor every student continuously and act the moment risk signals appear — so your advisors focus on meaningful interventions, not identifying who needs help.
