Overview
The Midterm Grade Alert identifies students who have a low midterm grade based on configured values.
The alert can be configured to handle a variety of grades, or can be configured for only a specific grade. This allows you to tailor these alerts to fit your specific needs, for example, you may want one alert to go if a student has a midterm grade of C or D and a different alert if the student has an F. You could even generate a positive alert if a student has a high midterm grade.
Criteria to Generate the Midterm Grade Alert
- In-progress course sections.
- Student has current registrations in the course sections.
- A midterm grade is populated.
- No final grade exists.
- Student has a primary program of study defined on the Transcript data feed.
- Person has the Student role.
- Person has not previously received this midterm grade alert for the registration. Each instance of a midterm grade alert operates independently of the others. A single enrollment may receive multiple midterm grade alerts, but will not receive multiple of the same midterm grade alert.
