Suitable
What it is
Suitable is mobile-first software for universities and colleges that organizes student engagement and experiential learning. It brings opportunities into one app through Guided Pathways, while a searchable catalog centralizes co-curricular activities and supports tiered administrative permissions. Schools can manage student organizations, events, service hours, push notifications, surveys, automated campaigns, and risk alerts. Participation is recorded as verified experiential learning and co-curricular transcripts. Experiences can map to core competencies using an existing framework or a school-created one. Assessment tools follow engagement levels and reveal programming gaps. Students may earn points, progress through levels, receive incentives, and appear on leaderboards. Suitable also supports branded badges, stackable credentials, and web and mobile progress dashboards. Reporting includes customizable tags and filters, with custom reporting services available. Integrations cover LMS, SIS, advising systems, calendars, Handshake, Blackboard, and Canvas, plus an open API.
