Academic Alerts
Academic Alerts
The Academic Alert system allows faculty to share feedback and recommendations to students when there are concerns that students are not meeting course expectations or requirements.
The information you provide is shared directly with your student and their faculty advisor(s). Additionally, each message automatically includes detailed information that encourages students to use the various academic support services offered by Student Academic Services (SAS), the Writing Center, and the Office of Academic Advising (OAA).
In more serious instances of missing/late assignments, attendance issues, or low grades, the alert will also prompt outreach to the student from Student Academic Services, the Office of Academic Advising, the First-Year Experience Director, and/or the Opportunity Program—especially when the same student has received more than one alert. This proactive measure helps ensure that students are connected with the most appropriate campus support service.
The Academic Alert system is not a crisis or emergency response system.

STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION GROUP
For more serious academic or behavioral concerns (e.g. prolonged absences, psychological wellbeing), submit a report to the Student Assessment and Intervention Group (SAIG), which meets on a weekly basis to review information about students of concern.
