Grade Check Survey 

Grade Check Surveys enable instructors to provide feedback for several students at once at key points in the term. Each survey is a collection of tracking items (Flags, Kudos, To-Dos, and Referrals) that instructors can select and comment on for students in each of their course sections.

No Show Survey

Federal regulations require instructors to confirm student attendance/participation in courses in order to meet eligibility rules for federal financial aid.  During the first 1-3 weeks (depending on term and session), students should demonstrate attendance/participation in class or be marked/flagged as not attending.  Students that still have active non-attendance flags on a designated day each term will be dropped from the flagged course.  Flagged students will be notified 2 times prior to being dropped; the first time when the instructor marks the student as not attending and when a 2nd flag is added to the students account requesting the student take immediate action by contacting their professor due to imminent danger of being dropped. 

Students are considered to have attended or participated in the course if they have demonstrated one of the following acceptable academically related activities:

• Physically attending a class with direct interaction
• Submitting an academic assignment
• Taking an exam, interactive tutorial, or computer-based instruction
• Attending a school-assigned study group
• Participating in online discussion about academic matters
• Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask about subject studied

When raising this flag type be sure to include detailed comments about what specific action is need for the student to improve and include any associated deadlines.  Invite the student to schedule an appointment or come to office hours and provide the information needed for them to follow through with that request.
