NOTE: This message was sent on Friday, February 16, 2018, to all instructors teaching undergraduate courses for the Spring 2018 term.

Colleagues,

As we enter the fifth week of the semester, it is again time to submit Progress Reports for our undergraduate students. Progress Reports provide students with an indication of their mid-semester performance.  The information provided by you, the instructor, is shared with each student’s academic advisor. Combined efforts will provide the opportunity for timely intervention.  

  • When:  The Spring 2018 Progress Report campaign will run Monday, February 19th through Friday, March 30th.
  • How:  All instructors teaching undergraduate courses will receive an email invitation from SSC Campus on Monday, February 19th to submit progress reports for all students. 
    o   Instructors can submit progress reports by following the link in the invitation email
    o   You can also navigate to the UWM homepage and select SSC Campus on the Faculty/Staff tab. 
    o   Submitted at-risk progress reports will be shared directly with students.  As all instructor comments will be shared, mindful construction is important. 
    o   Instructors should submit progress reports for all students in their courses, particularly those at-risk of failing.  At-risk students are those with either/or  

    • C- or lower
    • 3+ absences or as otherwise determined by the instructor.

Information on the Progress Reports campaign and additional resources are available here: https://uwm.edu/academicaffairs/academic_priorities/student-success/student-success-collaborative/.  If you have questions or would like further training on the SSC Campus, contact ssc-support@uwm.edu.

Your feedback and outreach are critical to the success of our students.  I truly appreciate the effort all UWM faculty and staff make to enhance the student success and retention of our students.

Take care,

Johannes
