The unified workspace for college counseling.

About

Accolade provides a counselor-first CRM that organizes everything happening across all students. Counselors are burdened by disconnected tools, wasting hours manually piecing things together instead of supporting students effectively. Instead of seven browser tabs, Accolade is one AI-native workspace that takes care of busy administrative work so counselors can focus on what matters: getting their students into college.

Product

Accolade consolidates documents and college information for each student, providing analytics and suggestions through industry-standard integrations while improving communication with meeting bookings and reminders. Students, parents, and counselors each have role-specific interfaces tailored to their needs, keeping every stakeholder in the loop.
