The Alert Program

The FYS/FYE, IS/MGMT, LRC, MATH, MLL, and TRS classes will be participating in the test pilot of the new online FYI/Alert Program. We want to thank these departments for agreeing to help us out.

Below are the steps for accessing your class lists, and submitting your alerts. Please email fyi@umbc.edu if you have any problems.

STEP 1: Sign into your MyUMBC account
STEP 2: Click on "Topics." Then, click on "Faculty Center."
STEP 3: Click on "Advising Center."

STEP 4: Click on "My Faculty Info."

STEP 5: Click on "First Year Intervention Reporting"

STEP 6: Find those students to whom you want to send Alerts.

STEP 7: Click on the button next to those students to whom you want to send Alerts, generally those students who are in danger of a D or an F in your class.

STEP 8: Send the Alerts, you can keep sending alerts until 11/9. You can send Alerts anytime and multiple times till that time.

Remember, once you click on “Complete” for any individual class or “Complete All” for all of your classes, Alerts will no longer be available to send for that class or those classes, respectively. Please do not use this function until the due date 11/9 just in case you may want to send Alerts sometime during the FYI cycle. Your Alerts page will automatically close on the due date.

Remember, you can send Alerts multiple times as long as you do not click on “Complete” or “Complete All.”

Remember, if you want to delay sending Alerts you can leave the page and your selections will be saved automatically.

Remember, you can send Alerts to any student in any class (FYI eligible or not) by clicking on “Show all students” to see your entire class roster.

If you need assistance, contact John Rollins at jrolli1@umbc.edu .

Thank you very much for your participation in and support of the FYI program as we build a new infrastructure that will support expansion to new populations; provide a user friendly interface with departments, faculty, and staff; and improve efficiency for all involved.
