Undergraduate Grade Monitoring

Early Alerts

LA+D and CLAS: Early Alerts are required for all students who are at-risk by the 3rd week of semester-based classes, or the 1st week of term-based classes. Faculty members submit the early alert via Advise, Lesley’s online retention system.

Mid-Semester Evaluations

LA+D and CLAS: Mid-semester evaluation forms are recommended for all students and are required for students with a grade-to-date of C- or below by the 7th week of semester-based classes, or the 3rd week of term-based classes. Faculty members submit mid-semester evaluations electronically via Advise to notify students of poor progress in their course(s).

Mid-semester evaluations do not appear on the student's permanent academic record. Copies of the report are automatically sent electronically to the students and their advisors.

Midterm Grading

LA+D: Students receive midterm grades if the academic status at midterm is C- or lower. Students can check midterm grades using Self-Service. Some LA+D faculty post grades for all academic performance at midterm but the general rule is that no midterm grade means academic performance is satisfactory at the semester midpoint.

CLAS: It is recommended that CLAS faculty post midterm grades.
