“The SMSU RN to BSN Program does not have you take a set amount of credits each semester. This flexible scheduling was perfect for me as it allowed me to vary the amount of credits I took each semester. I would have struggled without that flexibility as I am a non-traditional student who is also a wife, mother of four, and worked full time while completing my degree. This program is designed to fit into your life, whether you want to be a full-time or part-time student.”

Each fall and spring semester, you will receive an email from the Deeann Griebel Student Success Center during weeks 3 and 7. This email will include detailed instructions for completing the early alert survey.
Survey Expiration The early alert survey is open for one week before it expires. Changes can be made to the survey until it expires, but you must keep the survey link to do so.
Class Rosters

In the early alert email you receive, there will be a link to click on. This link will take you to a listing of courses you are teaching that semester. Click on each class to view your class roster. The roster will include the student’s first and last name, Mustang ID & SMSU email. 
Reporting Alerts Once you have opened your class roster, you will have the ability to identify alerts for applicable students using the alert criteria below:
 
  • Attendance: Poor attendance is affecting the student's success.
  • Academic: Student has a grade below a C in the course. 
  • Financial: Student has self-disclosed financial difficulties that may be affecting their education.
  • Personal: Student has self-disclosed personal problems or health-related issues that may be affecting their education.

    A comment section is also available if you would like to provide additional comments or further explanation of the alert. Once you have identified who may or may not have an early alert, click the "finalize responses" button.
Important Note: If you do not have any alerts to report, we ask that you still review each class roster and click "finalize responses". This notifies the Student Success Center that you have participated in the early alert survey and that there are no alerts to report at this time.
Intervention Strategies Once the survey expires, students will be contacted by a member of the Early Alert Intervention Team so interventions can begin. Alert information is also shared with academic advisors to keep them informed of any advisees that have been reported.
