Using Early Alerts to Support Students
Timely information is essential for effectively guiding your students, and the MyOHIO Success Network serves as a bridge to strengthen the advisor–advisee relationship. By providing real-time updates, the system allows you to proactively reach out, showing students that they are supported and valued. Consistent engagement through automated emails and timely interventions fosters a sense of connection, reinforcing your role as a trusted resource. As students see your commitment to their success, they become more comfortable seeking help, building confidence in the advising relationship and ultimately empowering them to navigate challenges with your guidance.
When you receive an alert about a student, take immediate action:
- Log in to Slate-CS upon receiving an email notification.
- Review the alert details and determine the best way to reach out.
- Provide timely support and guidance to help your student stay on track.
Understanding Alerts
Alerts build in the system are based on key student success indicators such as:
- New Student Success Survey student responses
- Mid-Term Progress Survey feedback from faculty
- Lack of logins for asynchronous Learning Management System courses
- Academic alerts raised by faculty
Both students and advisors are notified when an alert is raised, allowing for prompt intervention. You can view alerts in the after logging into Slate-CS.
Alert Categories and Advisor Actions
Alerts are categorized to help track progress:
- Active – The alert requires the student's advisor's attention.
- Initial Outreach – The student has already received an automated message from the system with resources.
- Addressed – Further contact attempts have been made by the student's success advisor, but no response yet from the student.
- Resolved– The advisor has successfully connected with the student.
When an advisee receives an alert, be sure to:
- Reach out to the student promptly.
- Update the alert status as needed.
- Add advising notes to keep records updated and to close the loop.

How to Use MyOHIO Success Network to Support Student Success
Faculty engagement through the MyOHIO Success Network makes a meaningful difference in students’ academic journeys. Faculty play a crucial role in student retention and success by submitting early alerts through the MyOHIO Success Network. These alerts notify both students and their advisors about academic progress, allowing for timely interventions that can prevent minor challenges from escalating into major setbacks, such as course withdrawal, failure, or academic dismissal. By taking the time to submit alerts and feedback, faculty members play an essential role in fostering student success, enhancing retention, and reducing attrition.
Why Faculty Alerts Matter
Faculty involvement provides critical insights that enable advisors to offer support before it is too late. Without faculty input, advisors may not become aware of a student’s struggles until the end of the semester, limiting their ability to help. By providing formative feedback, faculty not only support students academically but also strengthen their sense of connection and belonging, which encourages persistence and motivation.
When students see that their faculty members have noticed their challenges and reached out with concern, they are more likely to engage, seek help, and take proactive steps toward improvement. Additionally, recognizing students who are performing well through positive feedback can reinforce their efforts and motivation.
How to Raise an Early Alert
Faculty can submit academic concern alerts at any time during the semester using the alert form in the Faculty & Advising Center class list.
Additionally, all instructors of record will receive an email prompting them to complete the Mid-Term Progress Survey, which is a key opportunity to provide formative feedback. This mid-semester check-in helps students adjust their study habits and organizational skills if needed, allowing them to get back on track and succeed in their courses.
Prioritizing Feedback for High-Enrollment Courses
If you are teaching a high-enrollment course and have time constraints, consider prioritizing feedback for students who are struggling the most. These students would benefit greatly from an advisor’s outreach and support.
