Retention Corner: Letting students know about SEAS

Emails went out this week reminding faculty to provide student feedback in the Student Early Alert System (SEAS). To educate students about SEAS, below is a brief message you can post in your classes:

SEAS (the Student Early Alert System) is a tool used by faculty to identify students who, if they continue with their current academic behavior, are in danger of not doing well in their course. Faculty may go into the system at any time during the semester to flag your academic behavior for attendance, participation, assignments, quizzes and exams. An email will be sent encouraging you to seek assistance from your instructor or other university resources. When you get the email you are not in trouble. It is a nudge for you to look at your current habits and see how you can improve. This message will also include a link to “raise your hand” virtually for assistance from the Student Success team if you need it.
