Spring 2020 Pilot of the EagleCare Network

Latest update: March, 2020

For those of you who are new to the network and the pilot, here's some information:

What does the network do? Expand

The network brings together faculty, advisors, and other departments across campus to proactively assist students if a student is in danger of failing a course or leaving the university. It's something we've always done, but new tools can help us provide more complete care faster and more easily.

Those in the network will use new tools in Navigate:

Progress Reports

A progress report allows a faculty member to communicate interim grades for one, some, or all of their students. It is different from entering official grades into EagleNET. Instead, progress reports allow for instant communication between faculty and care team partners who are vested in student success.

Alerts

An alert is used when a student is at risk of failing a course or leaving the university. An alert will notify a care team partner about the student’s need to we can help the student promptly.

Cases

A case is a way to track the status of an alert. Cases are assigned to specific individuals, and the case tools in Navigate allow for easy tracking of open and closed cases.

Who is part of the network? Expand

Our current partners are:

  • Athletics
  • The Center for Academic Advising and Retention (CAAR)
  • The Faculty members teaching ENGL 101 & 103 in Spring Quarter 2019
  • Programs Leading to University Success (PLUS)
  • Student Financial Services
