Mid-Term Alerts Tutorial : Creating a Single Alert

To create a single alert for a student you must click on the "Create an alert/comments for this student" link next to the student's name. You then must select an estimate of progress for the student.

The "Student progress" field is the only one that you are required to complete. All others are optional, but may be useful for students in understanding their current status.

When you have completed the alert, you must click on the "Review alert information" button at the bottom of the page to continue.

After you have clicked on the "Review alert information" button you will see a summary of the alert information you entered into the system. If all the information is correct, click either of the "Send the alert to student and adviser" (there are two of these buttons in case someone has a long list of students and does not wish to scroll to the bottom of the page to send the alerts). Use the blue "Edit" link (on the right) to go back and change any information for this student's alert. You may cancel this alert entirely by clicking on the "Cancel the alert" button.

This page confirms the alert has been sent. All alerts are sent on a nightly basis.
