CREATE YOUR CAMPUS COMMUNITY APP

Bring your entire community to your CampusGroups app and boost engagement.

It's FREE to create your Campus Community App during COVID-19.

CREATE YOUR APP

During COVID-19, millions of students are attending classes remotely. CampusGroups helps you keep them engaged and connected when they leave the virtual classrooms.

6 reasons why you should create your Campus Community App

1. Keep your students connected to your campus while they are remote

Give students and staff a convenient way to stay in touch with what's happening in your campus community, with instant access to groups, events, and communications.

  • Social directory for students & staff
  • Group conversations and chat
  • Events calendar
  • Virtual meeting scheduler

2. Create virtual events, manage registrations, and track attendance

Notify students of upcoming virtual events and register attendees through the app, then send mobile notifications to ensure participation.​

  • Events calendar
  • Online registrations and reminders
  • Virtual attendance tracking
  • Integration with video conferencing apps

3. As your students are not meeting anymore, maximize communication opportunities

Your school's mobile app on CampusGroups opens several lines of communication: direct messaging, group conversations, discussion feeds, push notifications, video conferencing integration, file-sharing, and more.

4. Customize your app with centralized campus resources

Upload campus maps, room resources, FAQs, a staff directory, and more for students to access anytime.

5. Create a campus-branded experience for your students

Use the App Builder module from your computer to quickly change your app's design. Easily update colors, features, and menu options with a few clicks.

6. Maintain ownership of your data within a private space

Highly popular communication apps use  your data to generate revenue. We don't. We will never sell or use your data. The data is your data and you can download it at any time. We provide FERPA compliant tools to help you manage your community app.

BOOST ENGAGEMENT & RETENTION

Driving your community to a dedicate campus community app creates invaluable engagement which helps boost retention.
