Early Alert Feedback in CONNECT
ATTENTION Dept Chairs: Please note that this is an action.
Early Alert Feedback in CONNECT: Early alert reporting is expected of all faculty teaching sections of courses listed as a “Top 40” or a “Progression Course”. The reports are due by noon on Friday, September 15th. It is very important that the targeted faculty complete the report in a timely manner using CONNECT so that students who are not performing well, to date, can receive the support they need sooner rather than later. Those faculty who are considered instructors of “Top 40” or “Progression Courses” should have received an email with specific instructions on how to submit a report. Please make sure they complete the early alert. If you have any questions, contact Banita Brown.
