Academic Alert Emails to Students

Email subject: Action Needed in {$course_name}

Hi {$student_first_name},

I am reaching out to check in about your progress in {$course_name}. I am concerned that you may be experiencing challenges that are affecting your performance in the course, as your current course grade is lower than expected. 

As a faculty member I am always interested in meeting with students and learning about their course experience. I invite you to contact me so we can find a time to discuss your progress in the class. You are welcome to stop by during my office hours, speak with me after class, or email me to arrange a meeting.

Another great resource is your academic advisor, who can discuss how this course fits into your academic plans and connect you to other student support resources. You can set up an appointment with them through Navigate360. Maybe you are struggling with something outside of class that is affecting your academic performance. I encourage you to explore the academic resources and health/wellbeing resources that may be helpful.

Your academic success is important to me, your academic advisor, and others at UVM. We are here to support you on your educational journey, and I encourage you to take advantage of these services sooner rather than later. We consistently hear students say, “I wish I had reached out to support services sooner.” 

All UVM students face challenges at one point or another. You can overcome this challenge, just as you have overcome challenges you may have faced in the past. I look forward to meeting with you. 

Sincerely, 

Professor {$completer_name}
