Early Alert
Early Alert is a student support tool designed to provide faculty and instructors with an easy way to partner with other campus resources to reach out to students who have academic related concerns within the classroom once other methods of outreach have been unsuccessful.
Areas that faculty and instructors may submit an Early Alert for include:
- Class Engagement
- Struggles with Course Assignments, Quizzes, and Exams
- Missing Coursework
- Class Attendance
- Change in Performance
- Risk of Failure without Action
Early Alert can be found in KSU Navigate.
- Log in to and go to your "Faculty Dashboard", then to the "Grading Resources" section on the right
- Select 鈥淜SU Navigate 鈥 Early Alert鈥
- Once there, you should be on the 鈥淧rofessor Home鈥 screen
- Check the box next to the relevant student鈥檚 name, then click 鈥淎ctions鈥
- Select the Alert reason, class, and enter any additional comments
- Click 鈥淪ubmit鈥
Early Alert can be submitted from the 2nd through 12th week of the semester.
The Early Alert System is not an appropriate method of communication for concerns regarding student's mental health or safety. If you are concerned about the immediate safety of an individual or the safety of others, please call 9-1-1.
If a student is experiencing difficulties and you think they may benefit from a referral to a mental health professional, you may consult with or refer the student to:
