Attendance Tracking

This is only available during the 2nd and 3rd weeks of each semester. Faculty should use this option to report students’ attendance in class during the first three weeks of the semester. It can be found in your class list in myHeliotrope.

Mid-Term Progress

Routine academic issues regarding attendance, participation, grades should be part of meaningful conversations directly with students and also may be reported through the Mid-Term Progress system, which can be found in your class list in myHeliotrope. The system is open for a period of time during the beginning of each term. For questions, contact the Assistant Dean of your school.

Student Alert-The student alert will reopen when Spring classes resume in January. Please refer to the resources below for concerns in the meantime.

Faculty and staff should use the student alert form to report concerns that relate to a student’s mental or physical well-being, including signs of emotional distress, substance abuse, financial concerns, serious roommate conflicts, academically disengaged, under-performing, or demonstrating an abrupt change in academic performance. The alert system notifies the At-Risk Committee about issues that may be hindering a student’s success, and a student affairs professional from an appropriate department is then assigned to reach out to the student and offer assistance. This is not an emergency service and is not monitored on evenings, weekends, or holidays.  Please be sure to submit the student’s full name in the “Involved Party” box before you submit the alert.
