The Daily Bulletin

The deadline for Student Progress Reports has been extended to 11:00 p.m. Sunday, February 28. The Student Progress Report was deployed to all instructors on Friday, February 12. An e-mail notification with the link to the survey was sent to all faculty members.

The Student Progress Report is one of the most exciting features of the Bengal Success Portal. This early intervention tool enables faculty members to inform advisers and students about signs of academic difficulty early on in the term. Upon receiving an alert generated from their instructor's report, students can take immediate steps to improve their performance. When a pattern of concern arises in relation to a single student, faculty and staff advisers can conduct early outreach so that students can make positive changes to their academic habits.

Instructors are able to view their class lists and mark whether a student has encountered an issue, or award students “kudos” for a job well done. Students will receive e-mails, and students' advisers will be made aware of this feedback as well. If a cause for concern is identified, students will know that actions need to be taken. By the same token, advisers can then conduct proactive outreach to assist students in helping them to meet their academic goals.

Instructors, please complete the Student Progress Report by February 28. Your feedback just might be that extra little “nudge” that students need to put them on the path to success.
