Progress Report and Alert Guide for Students

What does an alert mean?

An alert provides feedback regarding your academic progress. The faculty is concerned about your success in the course and additional assistance may be needed to ensure that you succeed. When an alert is received, a potential problem has been identified and action steps are included to resolve the issue.
 

Why did I receive an alert?

Possible reasons for an alert include:
  • excessive absences or tardiness that might affect your success.
  • missing assignments.
  • poor performance on tests or quizzes or in class.

Faculty may also provide recommendations of support services and actions that lead to future success.

 

What should I do about the alert?

Respond promptly. Contact your instructor or advisor to set up an appointment to discuss the concerns. We want to help you succeed!
 

If I receive an alert, does that mean I am failing and should drop the course?

The alert may not mean that you are failing, but you should act quickly to resolve the issue. Speak with your advisor or instructor to address the concern.
 

What if I receive an alert by mistake?

Contact your instructor to make sure the concern is a mistake.
