Getting Started

Othot Essential is licensed separately for enrollment and student success.

Step 1

Institutions pull together the required data from their CRM, SIS, or other sources into a flat file. The file should contain two to three years of historical data.

Step 2

Othot will check the files for errors or issues. The validation process ensures your models were built using clean and accurate data.

Step 3

The models are built and validated, ensuring quality predictions.

Step 4

You and your team have access to your models. The Othot Help Center provides step-by-step guides to get started, and you will meet quarterly with a member of our Partner Success Team.

The process takes about 30 days, depending on data validation
