Step Two: Select Students

On your "Professor Home Page" scroll down to find the "Students in My Courses" Box. Choose the student(s) you want to issue an alert for by checking the box next to the student's name. You can select multiple students as long as they have the same reason for the alert.

This will open the "Issue Alert" box. The student(s) you selected will be automatically assigned to the alert. Starting from the "Professor Home > Students in My Courses" box will also automatically associate the alert with your course. Use the "Select a Reason" drop down menu to choose a single reason for alerting your student(s). You can also add comments to give additional information to help assist with follow-up on this alert. Click Submit to issue the alert.
