Conversation: Academic Progress Reports, Alerts

This fall we launched new software programs to get faculty feedback on student progress, specifically students in danger of not passing/falling below a 2.0. The Midterm Progress Report (MPR) was a survey format - which was new. We also had the "ad hoc" alert, similar to what we had before.

The purpose of this conversation is to quickly review what we did, discuss our plans for spring semester, and get feedback and input from faculty.

Tues., Dec. 10, 3-4 p.m. Marshall Room.
