One record, from first plan to final outcome.
Verified results after graduation, not just applications submitted. Planning for every student and tools to spot who needs help.
Three jobs, one system.
Students plan. Counselors support. Leaders see results. The same record runs all three.
For schools, districts, networks, and college access organizations.

Reports and verified outcomes
Data, permissions, and setup — for the people who own them.
Admin & Efficiency
Load the data once, set who sees what, and let the follow-ups run themselves.
One Record per Student
Grades, test scores, program data, applications, and outcomes live on one record that follows the student from middle school through college. Edit fields right in the student list.
- Academic, demographic, and program data in one profile
- Weighted and unweighted GPA with history and class rank
- SAT, ACT, and AP scores with superscores
- Custom fields for anything your organization tracks
- Bulk upload with row-by-row checks and saved column mappings
Milestones, Tasks, and Surveys
Define the steps every student should complete, then let Overgrad track progress, send reminders, and surface who needs a nudge.
- Milestones with templates, automatic completion, and verification
- Tasks with due dates, assigned in bulk or one at a time
- Surveys with sections, a shared question bank, rating scales, scheduled sends, and charted results
- Calls, emails, and meetings logged on the student record
Works with Your Other Systems
Your student information system stays the system of record. Overgrad reads from it and from the other systems you already run, so nobody types the same thing twice.
- National Student Clearinghouse for enrollment and persistence
- PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, and Synergy by scheduled sync
- Common App for application status and recommendation routing
- An API for anything custom
Permissions and Security
Schools roll up to districts, districts to networks, and each level has its own settings. You decide which educators see which students.
- Access grants that control which staff see which students
- Role-based permissions at the school, district, and network level
- FERPA agreement workflows and audit trails
- Two-factor authentication and single sign-on
The daily work with students — for counselors and advisors.
Planning & Advising
Every student builds a plan, applies, and gets help before a deadline passes.
College Lists and Applications
Students build a list of likely, match, and reach schools from their own record and from where students like them enrolled and graduated. Every application, document, and deadline lives in one place.
- List builder that uses the student's grades, scores, career interests, and past sessions
- College cards with test-optional status, retention, and net price by family income
- Applications with requirements, recommendations, and attached documents, sent automatically when ready
- Essay tracking from draft to reviewer feedback, with prompts pulled from colleges each week
- Bulk transcript upload that routes each page to the right student
Careers and Every Pathway
Students explore careers with real wage and job-growth data, then see every way to get there: degrees, community college programs, training certificates, apprenticeships, and the military, side by side with what each costs and pays.
- Career search with wages, openings, and growth for each occupation
- Start from a career and see the degrees, certificates, and apprenticeships that lead to it
- What graduates of a specific program at a specific school earn and borrow, and what a family at your income pays after aid
- Shorter programs shown as a first step, with the degrees they stack into
Work-Based Learning

- Bulk email and text to a full caseload, with replies coming back to the sender
- Family texting and replies from their own Overgrad parent account

Interests, Strengths, and Purpose
Students identify what they care about and what they do well, then build career and college lists from there.
- Personality and interest assessments matched to careers
- A student compass of values and goals that students edit over time
- Career surveys with counselor endorsements

What happened, and what to do about it — for leaders and their teams.
Reporting & Visibility
Board and funder reports, plus a weekly read on which students need help.
Reports
Reports roll up from counselor to school to district to network. Run them whenever you need them, not whenever the data refresh allows.
- A library of reports: admissions, enrollment, alumni, documents, courses, and more
- Custom reports with your own fields and a scheduled export
- Comparisons across schools in a district or network
- Numbers that stay current, so nobody rebuilds the deck
Where Students Land
With Overgrad Success, enrollment and term-by-term persistence come from the National Student Clearinghouse and appear on each graduate's record. Leaders see results by school, counselor, and cohort.
- Enrollment and persistence verified by the National Student Clearinghouse
- Alumni dashboard: who enrolled, who stayed, who stopped out, by cohort
- Financial aid award letters read automatically and compared side by side
- Term bills and balances tracked for alumni so money problems show up early
Who Needs Help, and When
Counselors see which students are off track and why. Students see a short list of what to do next.
- Each student's next steps, ranked by what matters most right now
- Flags for missing applications, aid steps, and milestones, with the reason shown
- Feedback on college lists before students submit
- The counselor makes the call; Overgrad points them to it
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Overgrad only track 4-year college? What about students going into trades, military, or apprenticeships?
No. Overgrad covers two-year colleges, trade schools, certificate programs, apprenticeships, the military, and direct-to-work, alongside four-year colleges. Students plan for any of these paths, and Overgrad tracks the outcome for each one.
Can we track work-based learning hours for CTE compliance?
Yes. Overgrad tracks placements, hour logs, and employer evaluations for internships, externships, and apprenticeships, and exports the reports your state requires.
Can we see employment outcomes, not just college enrollment?
Yes. College enrollment and persistence come from the National Student Clearinghouse. For work outcomes, Overgrad records where alumni are employed and can add wage data from employment data providers, so you can see where graduates work and what they earn.
Can we connect Overgrad to our existing SIS, LMS, or other systems?
Yes. Overgrad runs scheduled syncs with PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, and Synergy, supports Google sign-on, and offers an API for custom integrations. Systems without a sync can use the bulk uploader. Common App, the National Student Clearinghouse, and texting connect natively.
What security and compliance features does Overgrad include?
Overgrad includes FERPA agreement workflows, two-factor authentication for administrators, role-based permissions, single sign-on, audit trails, and encryption in transit and at rest. Districts, organizations, and networks each configure their own settings.
Does student data train an AI model?
No. Student data never trains an outside AI model. Overgrad's AI features run on a closed system inside AWS, and your district decides whether they are turned on.
