What are Early Academic Alerts?
Early Academic Alerts are proactive notifications that instructors send directly to students through myUMBC. Academic Alerts are intended as an early intervention to notify students who are at risk of earning a D or F grade in a currently enrolled course to provide them with the necessary support and resources to succeed.
By alerting students early in the semester, students have the ability to utilize the various supports available, make the necessary changes to improve their grade before the end of the term and achieve their highest potential.
Instructors may send alerts during the reporting period.
Spring 2025 Reporting Period: February 24, 2025 to March 25, 2025
What Happens If I Get an Alert?
If you get an alert, you will receive a notification on myUMBC with a link to resources to help you succeed. If you need more information, you should contact your professor to talk about your grade. When you visit your advisor, they advisor will also follow up with you about your alert to make sure you are getting the help you need.
