Academic Alerts, a process to replace the mid-term grades process, will be available to instructors in APLUS by early October. So far, usability testing was conducted, and the project team is making final changes based on this feedback. The team is also working on a training guide for instructors and final communication plans. Instructors will be asked to have enough grading events before the middle of the term so that they can properly evaluate students’ academic performance and inform those who are not meeting class requirements, consistent with University policy on “in-progress notifications.”
Instructors will also be encouraged to provide feedback early and often as this system allows instructors to send as many updates as necessary so advisors can assess how students are doing across multiple classes and what services might be the most beneficial to keeping students on track. We will send out communications and resources after the start of the term. Instructors will receive reminders to add grades in APLUS and comments at midterm per usual. For other programs that depend on mid-term rosters, mid-term rosters will still be made available.
