Academic Alert

The goal of Academic alerts is to bring awareness to students with concerns prior to mid-semester so we can offer resources and support. This process allows faculty and staff to alert professional academic advisors of any student who is not making satisfactory progress and/or is exhibiting behaviors that may lead to academic difficulty.

Academic alerts are submitted through myWildcatSuccess. For non-academic concerns, submit a Student Concern Referral.

UNHM: Student at risk of failing

(only select one alert reason for each student)

You can use this reason if a student is currently failing or at risk of failing. Please add additional information in the comments.

This alert reason will open a case with academic advising and the student will be contacted to schedule an advising appointment. The student will receive an automated email, the professional advisor will receive an email with the case, and the instructor will receive an email when the case is closed with information regarding the outcome.

UNHM: Keep up the good work!

You can use this to provide positive reinforcement to a student.

Student receives an automated email indicating that you have noticed their good work.

Once a student is identified, professional advisors begin appropriate outreach to the student. If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Kirylych, Director of Advising, at stephanie.kirylych@unh.edu. For non-academic concerns, submit a Student Concern Referral.

What if I have multiple concerns for one student?

Please select the primary alert reason only and enter additional information in the comments. Selecting multiple reasons sends duplicate notifications to students and advisors.

What if I am concerned about a Durham or CPS Online student in a Manchester course?

You can complete the UNH Manchester Academic Alert form. The student will receive an automated email message referring them to their assigned advisor.

What if I already submitted an alert and have new or continued concerns?

You can submit multiple alerts throughout the semester. Professional advisors strive to provide appropriate outreach to students. However, students don’t always respond to our outreach. We will make multiple outreach attempts before closing a case.

Why do I see so many alert reasons?

If you teach on multiple UNH campuses, you will see alert reasons for each campus. For Manchester classes you must select one of the following reasons:

·       UNHM: Attendance concern

·       UNHM: Missing work and/or low scores on graded work

·       UNHM: Student at risk of failing

·       UNHM: Keep up the good work!

Alert reasons are connected to automated email messages and it is important that students receive the Manchester emails to be referred to our services and not Durham or CPS Online services.
