Instructors make a huge impact on student success by identifying students who may be struggling so that advisors and other support staff can provide intentional and individualized outreach. Entering course alerts into Bison Advise will help with the communication between instructors, staff and students.

Please look at the following information to learn more about how, why and when to enter course alerts.

How to enter a course alert

Identifying the right students

When to enter an alert

Once an alert is entered by an instructor, it will be assigned to the student’s academic advisor, either professional or faculty. It is important that the student hear directly from their advisor as they have already gained a trusted relationship with that individual. See the instructions below on how to view an alert that has been entered on one of your advisees and what steps to take thereafter.
