"Upswing allows us to expand services to times of the day when the college isn't open but students are in search of academic support. This is especially useful for adult learners who typically balance college on top of already busy lives as parents and employees."

"The Ana escalation process has led directly to us retaining several students who would have otherwise dropped out. Getting notified about these potential issues and then working with the student to get counseling or academic support has been really impactful. We really appreciate all of the work that you're doing to make sure that these students don’t fall through the cracks!"

"Upswing is helping our students tremendously, mainly because of accessibility. It is hard to be available to students 24/7 but this tool allows us to provide the support that they need! The staff at Upswing are extremely helpful and every time I have needed assistance they have been there with the solution. I would highly recommend this product!"
