Information for Advisors
Purpose of Early Alerts
The purpose of early alerts is to provide a means of communication between faculty, students, and advisors so that:
- Students can address issues promptly enough in the semester to hopefully prevent serious consequences;
- Advisors can assist students in navigating their academic experience, and;
- Advisors can make referrals to campus resources, etc.
Let Us Know How We Can Help To-Do
NEW This Term: LARES is piloting a new “Let Us Know How We Can Help” To-Do that they will raise on LARES students in response to “Please Work With Your Advisor” level flags. This gives the student a method of responding to the outreach directly through iAdvise and informing those in the network at the same time.
Instructions to a student on how to complete the To-Do:
