Civitas Learning

What it is

Civitas Learning is a predictive analytics platform purpose-built for higher education. It ingests SIS, LMS, and financial data to produce student-level risk scores, graduation probability estimates, course success predictions, and schedule optimization recommendations. Academic advisor and retention agents use it to identify at-risk students proactively and measure intervention effectiveness.

When to use this skill

• Pulling a student's graduation probability score and the top risk factors driving it
• Identifying the highest-risk student cohorts in a given term for targeted outreach
• Checking course success probabilities before a student finalizes their schedule
• Retrieving schedule optimization suggestions based on peer cohort outcomes
• Benchmarking institution-level retention rates and tracking intervention outcomes over time

Credentials

This skill authenticates using env vars declared in the frontmatter metadata field. Set these in ~/.openclaw/.env (template: .env.example):

• CIVITAS_BASE_URL - Civitas Learning API base URL provided at onboarding
• CIVITAS_API_KEY - API key issued by Civitas Learning institutional account

Key operations

• GET /students/:id/risk — graduation probability score and contributing risk factors
• GET /students/:id/courseSuccess — per-course success probability for planned schedule
• GET /cohorts/atRisk — ranked list of at-risk students by program and term
• GET /interventions/:id/outcomes — measured outcome change for a tracked intervention
• GET /students/:id/scheduleRecommendations — peer-cohort-informed schedule suggestions

Notes

• Risk scores are probabilistic; agents must present them as decision-support signals, not deterministic predictions, and always involve human advisors in intervention decisions.
• Score refresh cadence varies by institution contract (typically daily or weekly); surface the score's as_of_date alongside the value.
• Civitas data contains derived PII; access is governed by institutional data use agreement and FERPA.
• The API requires IP-allowlisting in addition to the API key; ensure the agent's egress IP is registered with Civitas.
