    Progress Reports

    Progress Reports, formerly known as “Early Alerts”, help faculty communicate to students who may need a substantial change to achieve a grade of C or above. Such changes may include attending class, turning in missing assignments, and seeking academic support. Through progress reports, students are easily connected to advisors, tutors, and counselors as early as possible to lead them to support services that have a proven record of enhancing student success. Of course, there is an option to issue a positive progress report which lets students know they are performing well in the course so far. In addition, those teaching a course containing students in their very first year at Baruch (freshmen and transfers) will receive a “First Year Progress Report” survey. This survey focuses on extending support to students at the beginning of their academic journey and must be completed by March 31st 2025.

    This page offers instructions on issuing progress reports, completing the survey, and answers to frequently asked questions.

    Instructions

    • To access the survey, either check your Baruch email or log into Navigate360 using  your CUNYfirst credentials
    • First column contains the name of every 1st year student in your course
    • Second column contains risk assessment
      • Enter “Yes” for students at risk of earning a C- or lower
      • Enter “No” for students performing well so far or leave it blank
    • Third column contains reasons, select all that apply
      • Recommend SACC Tutoring – for subject-area tutoring – see courses SACC supports below
      • Recommend Writing Tutoring – for writing support
      • Recommend Tools for Clear Speech – for oral communication support for non-native speakers of English
      • Speak with an Academic Advisor – for academic concerns for which there’s no support available at SACC, the Writing Center, or TfCs
      • Missing Assignments – student has not turned in multiple assignments
      • Low Exam/Quiz Grades – student not on track to pass course due to low exam/quiz grades
      • Attendance Concern – has reached (or is near) the number of absences allowed
      • Personal Concern for a non-academic concern about a student (student will not be automatically notified and a professional staff member will determine next steps)
      • Student Performing Well for students earning a B or higher in the course (students will receive a “Keep up the Good Work” email)
    • Fourth column, add additional comments to provide context (optional)
    • Submit the survey
      1. If you’d like to return later, select “Submit only marked students (but I’m not done).
      2. Ready to close out the survey? Select “Submit unmarked students as not needing additional support (I’m all done)”. You will receive an immediate confirmation email

    After submitting alerts, consider reaching out to student individually. It’s imperative to make clear that our goal is to connect them with resources to ensure their success.

    Progress Reports may be submitted for any student at any point during the semester.

    • Log into Navigate360 using your CUNYfirst credentials
    • Click the Progress Reports link next to the class for which you would like to submit Progress Reports
    • On the Progress Reports page, select the student for whom you would like to submit a report, and click Actions and then Create a New Progress Report
    • On the Add a New Progress Report dialog, enter the information regarding the student
      • Reasons are the same as in the survey
      • You have the option to issue a positive report if the student is performing well

    The Writing Center

    The Writing Center offers free support to all Baruch students. Their professional consultants—teachers of college writing and writers themselves—work collaboratively with students to deepen their writing and English language skills. They can support students with any written assignment, and at any stage: while they brainstorm, plan, research, organize, write, and revise.

    Tools for Clear Speech

    The Tools for Clear Speech (TfCS) program improves the pronunciation, fluency, and pragmatic abilities of English language learners (ELLs) and non-native English speakers at Baruch College. Participants achieve more effective and intelligible communication, developing skills that empower them to succeed in their classrooms, careers, and beyond.

    Student Academic Consulting Center (SACC)

    SACC is Baruch’s peer tutoring center. See below for the courses they will support this semester.

    FAQs:

    When you submit your survey, identified students immediately receive a message encouraging them to speak to you about their academic progress, to contact an advisor, and to seek tutoring or counseling, where appropriate. When you recommend SACC, the Writing Center, or Tools for Clear Speech, those centers will also follow up directly and invite the student to make an appointment.

    Your response helps us identify students who urgently need support—the Writing Center, SACC, and other campus resources will make multiple attempts to reach the student and connect them to appropriate resources.

    Every year, our assessment of this program finds a strong correlation between at-risk students’ success (in terms of grades, pass rates, and retention) and their visiting campus resources as a result of this outreach.

    The survey’s roster will list only the names of students in their first year at Baruch. If you’re teaching an upper-level course, you might only have one or two students who meet this criterion.

    This outreach effort focuses on students early in their college career to help with retention (meaning, we want to make sure students feel prepared to stay in college). We know that those who fail a class particularly in their first semester are much more likely to drop out, so it is especially urgent to support them at this moment. You are able to issue progress reports on the remaining students in your course by logging into Navigate360.

    Advisors and staff in academic support services will be able to see any text comments you add, but students will not. Note that, while comments are invisible to students, they do become part of the student’s record.

    Unfortunately, some classes at Baruch are not supported by subject-level tutoring. That said, students still might benefit from referrals to advising, to the counseling center, or to your office hours.
