Midterm alerts project

The midterm alerts project has kicked off with these objectives:

• Increase the number of mid-term grades that are reported by UMN faculty at the 1000-level
• Improve communications, how-to guides, and related processes
• Consider and make recommendations related to the use of Canvas data for mid-term alerts, or other ways to alert students and advisors of academic challenges

Feedback on midterm alerts has been collected at SCEP and the Strategic Enrollment Management Committee and will be requested at the November RAC meeting. 

The project team will next focus on exploring alternate ways to collect academic alerts and will work on helping faculty to see the benefit to students when advisors are empowered with this information. If you have questions or feedback on this effort, please contact Adrienne Bricker (abricker@umn.edu).
