Academic Alert is a web-based early alert system used to notify students of problems they may be having in a class.

An alert is submitted via APMail and AP Self Service directly to a student by an instructor who is concerned that a student is in academic jeopardy due to issues such as:

• poor attendance
• habitual tardiness
• lack of engagement or participation in class
• late or missing assignments
• poor quality of assignments
• low tests or quiz scores
• inadequate and/or ineffective academic and study skills
• disruptive classroom behavior

When contacted, the Office of Academic Alert staff will discuss with the student the issues and concerns of the faculty member. Recommendations and referrals to support and enhance the opportunity for an alerted student's academic success may include:

• tutoring
• ways to improve time management and study skills
• personal counseling
• use of the Writing Lab
