Students skipping class and not submitting assignments? Let us know!

Nanook Navigator early progress reports informing student success teams about concerns and barriers are open through Friday, Feb. 3. We are encouraging instructors to complete urgent concerns/feedback by Wednesday, Jan. 25 to allow advisors and instructors time to meet with students before the add/drop deadline (Jan. 27). Choose your primary concern or feedback to reduce the number of emails that students receive.

Instructors, please reach out to your students before completing progress reports. We encourage you to provide context within the comment section of the progress report to assist advisors and student success staff in their outreach support.

Instructors have helped student success teams support hundreds of students over the past two years. As seen below, higher response rates help UAF provide support and assist more of our students in need.
