Contacting and Monitoring Students

The Retention Center can generate an email to notify students about their missing submissions. To access this option, follow the steps below:

1. Click on a student’s name, then select the Notify button.
2. Click on the Students option that appears.

   

   NOTE: Clicking the “Monitor” button will keep track of this individual student’s performance. Monitored students can be seen in the “Students you are monitoring” area to the right of the students at risk table.
3. Now the selected student will be listed on the email information page along with a general message. We recommend customizing this message to your preference and adding your signature for students.

   

4. Click the Submit button to send the email alert.
