The Early Alert System (EAS) is available for faculty use. EAS can play a pivotal role in identifying student needs as we begin the spring semester in a remote environment.
The EAS is a tool designed to allow faculty to provide just-in-time feedback to students and the staff in University College so that critical academic and non-academic interventions and support can be provided to our students when needed. The program is easy to use and provides a comprehensive range of information to University College coordinators, academic advisors and our students.
You can submit an early alert report through Interact, which can be accessed as a quick link on the home tab of the portal. A brief EAS overview and demo can be found on the faculty tab of the portal on the early alert channel.
Please use the EAS as much as possible, especially if you’re teaching courses targeted primarily to first- and second-year students. While we emphasize these courses, the system is available for courses at any level.
EAS can play a significant role in our ability to reduce the percentage of first-year students on academic probation.
