What is a flag? What happens when a flag is raised?
- Flags can be raised on at-risk students for a variety of reasons including – low participation, attendance concern, in danger of failing, low test/quiz scores, or for general concerns. Flags alert the student of any issues or concerns related to the course or to the students’ academic career. One flag should be raised at a time for a student. If the student is having trouble in more than one area, utilize the general concern flag to address multiple issues. All flags should have a comment that thoroughly addresses the faculty’s concern. The majority of flags will trigger an email automatically from the system with the comments from the faculty. A student will receive a personalized email within 24 hours of the flag being raised and if no contact is made with student a phone call will be made within 3 business days of the email from our office being sent out.
