The Early Alerts Program at PSU provides advisors and faculty the opportunity to work together, identifying and offering support to students who are struggling in their classes. To do this, we are using the Early Alerts/ Progress Report tool in EAB Navigate, which will allow us to coordinate efforts across the university. Using the Navigate tool will allow us to analyze and share the impact of our work, and to continue to refine our practices.
As we work together to support students in a new and challenging remote environment, we are scaling up our efforts this academic year to offer every undergraduate course a chance to participate.
Last year, faculty in 612-course sections partnered with advisors to identify and provide outreach to 2936 students. This effort has contributed to PSU having its lowest number of academic dismissals in recent history this winter and spring terms when instructors provided early alerts assessments for ~25% of enrolled students.
