This semester, faculty and student success staff are piloting a new Early Alert process targeted at identifying students of concern during the first two to three weeks of the semester.
In prior semesters, this alert has been issued four weeks into the semester.
This pilot aims to identify concerning academic issues as soon as possible with the hope that problems can be addressed more quickly.
Faculty will be issuing an alert through Navigate named “See instructor to discuss progression in this course” for students who display an academic concern.
The concern could include absenteeism, lack of engagement, poor homework grades, or other factors the instructor deems concerning.
During the pilot phase, 191 instructors and STEM faculty associated with the Foundational STEM Collaborative were contacted with instructions for issuing the alert.
Students receiving an alert are directed to contact the instructor by email or visit during office hours.
Students are also given links to valuable resources to help stay on track or address concerns.
Advisers may view issued alerts in Navigate.
