The Learning & Advising Center is a resource for faculty who wish to help students adjust to the academic demands of university life. When you refer your students to the center for tutoring or to meet with an advisor, you communicate the value of these services to students who may be hesitant or who do not yet understand the importance of seeking help. By sending Academic Alerts, you express your concern for the student and share your concern collegially with a student’s faculty advisor. While Academic Alerts do not become part of a student’s permanent academic record, they are a method of emphatically informing students and their advisors that improvement is necessary.
Directions for Sending Your Academic Alert via E-Mail
The Learning & Advising Center has placed on their website an Academic Alert template useful for faculty to report academic concerns. Here are the directions for using this template:
1. To send an academic alert, click on the "Academic Alert Form" link below to open the document.
2. Save the document under a file name to your desktop (e.g.,AcademicAlertForm_092410.pdf to reflect a date).
3. Type the information you wish to enter directly onto the document.
4.You may then send the file as an attachment to an e-mail by clicking on the "SEND VIA EMAIL" link or by emailing academicalert@philau.edu. Don't forget to attach the form.
