Early Alert Information

Early Alert was created by faculty at UW Oshkosh to help students better track their academic progress in their courses.

Emails are sent to undergraduate students enrolled in 14 week courses during the 5th week of each semester. These emails will indicate if a student is at risk of failing a course for one of the following reasons;

  • Class attendance
  • Frequently not participating or prepared
  • Habitually late to class
  • Incomplete/missing assignments
  • Low assignments/test/quiz scores
  • Other

Be aware that instructors are not required to participate in Early Alert. In these cases students should not assume they are doing fine, but rather should follow up with their instructor by email or during office hours to get their specific grade information.

What should I do if I get an Early Alert?

  1. Talk to your instructor in person and ask for tips on how to improve your grade in their class.
