The Spring 2026 Early Alert Semester Progress Report will be available in Navigate starting Tuesday, February 17, and will remain open until Tuesday, March 3. 

• To learn more about Alerts and Cases, please review the Alerts and Case Management Workflow training guide.
• You may wish to read the How to Complete a Progress Report training guide. You also have the option to watch a video on How to Complete a Progress Report. Access requires your BSU Username and Network password.
• When an Alert is raised via a Progress Report, students can now view comments, if provided by their instructor.

If your students are performing well and no Alerts are necessary, please log in to your Navigate account, access your Progress Report(s), and select the blue button: Submit unmarked students as not needing feedback (I’m all done).

The Spring 2026 Early Alert Progress Report allows faculty the opportunity to raise Alerts at the beginning of the semester for those students who may be struggling early or who are showing signs of having attendance issues.

A Note About Raising Multiple Alerts for the Same Student—

To minimize the volume of emails received by both students and staff regarding Alerts:

• Multiple Alerts for a single student can be challenging for advisors managing several advisees.
• For students in the same course, receiving multiple Alert notifications can be overwhelming.
• For students with multiple concerns, please raise the most pertinent Alert, such as Recommend Pass/Fail or Withdrawal. Include additional concerns in your comments, such as: (1) 3+ Attendance Absences, (2) In Danger of Failing, and (3) Missing/Late 2+ Assignments. This clarity will aid support staff in providing appropriate outreach and intervention.

If you need a training session on how to complete your Progress Report(s), please email Bob Hudson, assistant director for student success administrative systems, at hudsonrj@buffalostate.edu to book an appointment. Thank you for your continued efforts to support our students' success!
