About “Flags”
Instructors can raise flags about coursework and other concerns. These flags are to keep you up to date and informed about your progress both in the classroom and in your academic career. Each flag will send you an email notification that includes details about the flag and your instructor’s notes. Follow up with your instructor for more information or visit any of the helpful links in the email notification if they are listed.
We want to make sure you know that your hard work is not going unnoticed. We see you and the progress you are making towards your academic and career goals. Anytime you get email notifications for these tracking items, give yourself a pat on the back.
Referrals are a great way that instructors and advisors can get you connected with helpful services on campus. Need help with career advice? Talk with your instructor and then they can raise a referral. An email will be sent to you with helpful information and an email will be sent to contacts at the service of interest. This way those at Career Services, for example, can reach out to you and get you the information you need.
