Critical Reporting Timeframes
- There are 3 critical periods in the semester when instructors may want to consider referring their students:
-
Weeks 3-4:
By week three, students have settled into their classes and began forming habits. If an instructor notices a student could use some assistance in building particular academic skills, this may be a good time to remind them of the resources that are offered on campus such as the learning centers. Send a CARE Report, which will be routed to their academic coach who can give them detailed information about their options. -
Weeks 5-6:
Often, midterm week will determine how a student will approach test preparation and study practices. If you sense a student may not have the tools needed to prepare for the midterm, this would be a good reason to send a CARE Report, so their academic coach can help them create a study plan. -
Weeks 10-11:
By this time, instructors will have great indicators as to how a student may do in their course. This is an excellent time to submit a CARE Report on behalf of students who may need a little more assistance.
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
- Please note that the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) explicitly allows university officials the right to share data with other university officials, without the student’s permission, when there is legitimate educational interest, e.g., performing their official job functions.
