Early Alerts Program Updates

Project Status: Monitor/Assess

The Early Alerts workgroup is focused on increasing faculty participation in Early Alerts. The workgroup is focusing on how to close the loop with faculty each term, and how to best provide quarterly status reports. Additional work is being done to make Early Alerts data accessible so that it can be shared more regularly. The leadership team has synthesized insights gathered over the past two years to develop a proposal outlining the essential components for a sustainable Early Alerts program at PSU. 

Accomplished

  • Students in their first three terms at PSU and Summer Scholars have been receiving additional follow-up for any alert reason, in an effort to increase retention of students who receive alerts in their first year.
  • Worked with OIT on Slate integration, rolling out on March 30th.

In Progress

  • Will continue to work on OIT as the new owners of the Early Alert System to ensure desired enhancements are recognized and incorporated.
    • How this workgroup moves forward will be discussed in Spring term.

Project Health

  • Recommendations were made for expansion of the program but have not been moved forward.
  • For the 25/26 AY, the program remains in maintenance mode.
  • Currently, this work is being supported by a project team that includes Student Success, Undergraduate Academic Advising, and Student Academic Support Services and will continue to collaborate with faculty and staff from other units when possible.
