Abstract

College students fall behind more easily than people think. They’re managing degree requirements across different portals, missing advising appointments, and not always realizing when they’re off track. Because of that, about 40% of students who start at a 4-year college never graduate. When a student leaves, schools lose around $42,000 to $68,000 in tuition revenue.

TigerTrack is a student success platform that brings everything into one place. It gives students a single, clear dashboard of their academic life. It connects with tools like Ellucian DegreeWorks, course schedulers, and student portals, then highlights what actually matters. Students can see their degree progress, missing requirements, schedule conflicts, and risk factors all in one view.

Most existing tools, like EAB Navigate, are built more for administrators. TigerTrack is designed for students first. It runs on a lightweight, API-driven system with a Firebase backend, so it is quick to set up and more affordable for schools that cannot spend huge amounts on enterprise software. The main focus is on the roughly 3,000 schools in Ellucian’s network, starting with DegreeWorks users and Pacific-affiliated schools.

TigerTrack follows a software-as-a-service model with an estimated 94% gross margin. At around 400 schools, the market opportunity is over $8 million. That is just a small part of the larger $800 million academic advising software market, which is growing about 8% each year.

The team built a working prototype at PacificHacks in April 2026. Now they are expanding integrations, testing with students at University of the Pacific, and getting ready for pilot programs with academic advising offices.
