When data is spread across various systems and departments, it can slow you down and warp your view of your institution’s performance. Watermark helps you get a clear picture of the student experience and curricular effectiveness so you can take strategic action.
Keeping your community college resilient
Drive student engagement. Assess the effectiveness of your curriculum and faculty. Streamline accreditation prep.
When your processes advance, so does your mission
Your college is essential in providing high-quality, accessible education to your community. But, much work is needed behind the scenes to ensure a positive educational impact. You need to understand what kind of experience your students are having, deliver timely support, assess your curriculum, and support faculty to grow as educators.
Watermark tools help you manage these processes so you can spend less time tracking down information and more time on what matters most — furthering the success of your students, faculty, and community.

Getting stuck in a loop of repetitive tasks sucks time and limits the capacity to focus on strategic, value-added responsibilities. The right tools can automate these processes, giving you and your team more time to be impactful.
Students, faculty, and staff need personalized support to succeed — but overwhelming workloads and limited resources make it difficult to provide this support at scale. Our intuitive, cost-effective solutions help you engage them without overwhelming them. Centralize activity, remove duplicative work, break down data silos, streamline reporting, and create paths to success to boost morale and outcomes.
Fatigue, fragmented communication, and lack of awareness can make faculty and students question whether it’s worth participating in continuous improvement efforts. But their perspectives are essential for strong outcomes. Watermark tools can help you lower barriers to participation and make it easy to show how their involvement correlates to institutional success.
The unique circumstances that community college students manage alongside their academics present heightened risks of dropping out. Without tools for proactive student support, it’s difficult to help students overcome these obstacles. And if your persistence rates fluctuate, it can be a challenge to ensure your path to funding.
Needs for post-secondary education are constantly evolving, requiring strong institutional agility. Without tools to surface labor market insights, understand the gaps in your program offerings, and organize efforts to make changes, it’s easy to fall behind.
Without a clear view of student sentiments, faculty performance, and institutional effectiveness efforts, it can be nearly impossible to tell the full story of your institution. Connecting these dots is essential for measuring your impact and reinforcing your value.
Meeting stringent, evolving accreditation standards can strain your staff and put you at risk of non-compliance. With the right tools, you can build better processes to keep you and your team accountable.

“I have been using Watermark Planning & Self-Study primarily for program review, and it has become an indispensable tool in Rock Valley College’s assessment and continuous improvement efforts. The platform simplifies the entire program review process for me from data collection to feedback to sending off the reports. The interface is intuitive and I am able to easily navigate to where I need to go and I am able to easily customize the templates for our state reporting requirements. The Help section is particularly valuable, with many well-written articles that provide clear guidance on how to make the most of the platform’s features. If I cannot find what I need in the Help section, the customer support has been exceptional, and quick with responses.” –
“Last spring, our response rates were in the 30% range. Our first semester using Course Evaluations & Surveys, we were at 83%. The only thing that changed was the technology.”
