On Campus
Where’s the library located? How do I register for next semester’s classes? What’s the status of my financial aid application?
Students come to campus with lots of questions. Now, with Ivy, there’s a better way to field these questions and deliver customized experiences for every student’s unique situation.
And Beyond

When chatbots do get stumped, Ivy includes a ticketing system that allows students to escalate unanswered questions. Integrate Ivy with your own ticketing system to create new support requests for a variety of topics.
Improve students’ user experience with an AI solution that gets smarter with every interaction.

Personalized
“What is my GPA?”
With Ivy, students take control of their schedules and academic success. They get all of the answers they need without the wait.
Contextual
“When is the deadline?”
Asking about a specific form, process, or deadline? Ivy understands context so students can be specific in their requests and receive customized responses.
Always Learning
“Do you offer career services?”
