For Districts Focused on CCR & Alumni Success
Don't Just Plan the Future. Secure It.
Overgrad turns student plans into tracked applications, completed FAFSA steps, confirmed enrollment, and verifiable postsecondary outcomes.
Awareness is Only the First Step
Most students don’t miss college because they lacked awareness. They miss because deadlines slip and no system owns follow-through.
Comparison reflects product emphasis based on publicly available information; capabilities vary by configuration.
Most platforms track activity. Overgrad tracks outcomes.
We move beyond "What do I want to be?" to "How do I get there?"—managing the complex logistics of applications, financial aid steps, enrollment confirmation, and follow-through.
Where Exploration Tools Shine
Platforms like Xello are excellent for building early engagement.
- Student Engagement: Student-friendly experiences designed to drive early participation and interest.
- Career Exposure: Libraries that help students explore career pathways and options.
- Self-Discovery: Interest and strengths assessments that support reflection and planning.
Exploration tools are strongest when the goal is engagement and discovery—not operational accountability.
Where Overgrad Delivers Results
We take over when "browsing" ends and "applying" begins.
Nothing Falls Through the Cracks
Every application and milestone is tracked centrally. Counselors know exactly who is stuck, who is at risk, and where to intervene before a deadline is missed.
- Identify students with zero applications instantly
- Filter caseloads by missing milestones
- Track counselor interventions and notes
- Assign tasks to specific student cohorts
From Intent to Submission
Exploration tools aren't typically designed to own the messy details of senior year execution. Overgrad owns the logistics required to actually improve your CCR indicators.
- Electronic document sending workflows
- FAFSA completion status tracking
- Scholarship award letter tracking
- CTE certification verification
Measure Success, Not Just Activity
Login stats tell you if students are looking. Overgrad tells you if they are succeeding. We track persistence well beyond high school graduation.
- National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) integration
- "Summer Melt" tracking and prevention
- Employment outcomes tracking (where available)
- Post-secondary persistence reporting
Act Before Outcomes Slip
Turn passive browsing into active steps. Use bulk communication to nudge students toward deadlines, FAFSA nights, and application milestones.
- Two-way SMS for instant student responses
- Automated deadline reminders
- Parent/Guardian communication loops
- Targeted outreach based on application status
"What surprised us was that Overgrad didn't just simplify our systems. It unified our work. Within weeks, we had a single, end-to-end view of student progress that allowed our teams to operate more efficiently without losing clarity or personalization."
Which Goal Matters More?
Xello is a strong fit if:
- Your main focus is early-stage career awareness and exploration
- You need a student-friendly interface to drive participation
- You primarily need a career exploration library and planning activities
Overgrad is a strong fit if:
- Your focus is improving High School CCR metrics
- You need to prevent students from missing deadlines
- You want to know what happens to your alumni after they leave
The Bottom Line: Exploration tools help students find a path. Overgrad ensures institutions can stand behind the outcome.
