Progress Reports

The Progress Report is used to identify a student's academic difficulties. Instructors may fill out Progress Reports for students who, by the mid-point of the term, are earning low grades in a course, or whose performance the instructor  is concerned about for other reasons. Instructors should include any comments which may be relevant to the situation. The timing of the Progress Report is important, because it alerts the Newnan LSA Academic Advising Center to a student’s difficulties before the end of the term. For instructors who  are teaching a large course, especially one with many first- and second-year students, a Progress Report can be an effective way to help a student get individual attention. When the instructor  submits the form online, a copy goes instantly to the student and also to that student's assigned academic advisor. An academic advisor will contact the student to discuss the problems.
