Faculty-Initiated Early Support Referrals
- Spartan Connect
Getting Started
Start at your Spartan Connect Professor Home page
Using this method of submitting Early Support Referrals (sometimes called notifications or progress reports) allows you to see your class roster and quickly select one or more students.
Submitting Manually
On your Professor Homepage, there's a listing of all your current courses.
1. Within this listing, click on the Progress Reports link for the course.
2. On the Progress Reports page, select the checkbox(es) next to the names of the student(s) for which you'd like to submit a concern.
You are able to submit one progress report for multiple students, but they'll all share the same details. If you have specific comments you'd like to include for separate students, submit them one at a time.
3. Then, click on the Actions menu
4. and then the Create a New Progress Report option.
Again, be aware if you're submitting one progress report for multiple students.
5. Since you're submitting these progress reports because you have have a concern for the student, make sure to select the Yes option.
6. Specify a concern reason. It's best to just choose one primary reason and add additional comments in the box provided.
Participation Level and Estimated Current Grade are optional and do not need to be entered if you don't need or want to. They are simply there to provide additional information to the advisor receiving the report.
7. Please add any context or information related to this referral that would help the advisor to reach out to the student to help them connect with resources.
Example prompts to answer in the comments:
Have you already spoken with the student about your concern?
What suggestions have you already made to them?
What are the behaviors/patterns you have observed that are causing concern?
Has the student contacted you about their situation?
What would you hope is the outcome for this situation?
8. Once you're ready, click on the Submit Report button.
Again, if you're submitting one report for multiple students, the system asks you to confirm this choice.
That's it! Once the report has been processed, you'll be able to review the new reports and submit additional ones, if needed.
