Early Alert

What is Early Alert?

Occasionally you may receive an email from your Academic Advisor informing you that your professor has submitted an early alert on your behalf. These are timely notifications submitted independently by professors to let you know of a potential issue in a course. Early alertsStudents at sunset can vary in the scope and range of detail provided by the professor. They are not limited to, but can include:

  • Missing assignments
  • Low test scores
  • Inadequate participation
  • Recommendations for tutoring

Your Academic Advisor can touch base with you on the nature of the alert, and discuss next steps to help you choose the best course of action for you and your individual needs. Remember, Early Alerts are not necessarily a reflection of your current grade in the course and are at your professor's discretion to submit.
