Early Alert
14
• Classroom behavior and performance can be a
warning sign of a student’s ability to persist to
successful completion of a course, or even a
degree program.
• Instructors and advisors will have the ability to
flag a student via self-service each term based
on global categories.
• This flag will serve as an early alert to college
administrators who can triage the issue via
workflow to determine if an intervention with the
student is necessary.
