Utilizing Academic Status Reports (ASR)

What are they? Academic Status Reports: Allow an instructor to clearly communicate to a student their progress in the course. Can be filled out as needed, throughout the semester. Do not have to be filled out for every student – just the one(s) you want to receive an indicator. Are not required, but strongly encouraged for students at risk of not being successful in the class.

Indicators Reason Recommended Student Action Did not respond to instructor Does not follow instructions Frequently late for class Good work Inadequate class attendance Inadequate lab attendance Insufficient participation Insufficient research skills Low assignment scores Low quality written work Low quiz and/or exam score(s) Missed assignments Missed exam(s) Missed instructor meetings Missed quizzes Missing discussion posts No class attendance No submitted assignments Not comprehending material Not paying attending in class Not responding to email Poor overall performance Attend class Call ASU Online Success Coach Complete assignments Consult with a librarian Contact instructor via email Meet with TA Meet with advisor Meet with instructor Seek academic support Seek supplemental instruction Seek tutoring for this course Seek writing assistance Take Academic Refresher Course These are the reasons and recommended student action options listed in the drop-down menu. “Good Work” was recently added as an option to provide positive feedback. Please note there is a new recommended action item: “Consult with a librarian”. Recommend this action if your student is using poor quality sources in research assignments, struggling with the research process or needs help properly formatting citations. Another new recommended action item recently added is the “Call ASU Online Success Coach” which should only be used for a student in an “ASU Online” section (which may be confusing for instructors since some students in iCourse sections are in online courses, but they do not have success coaches). If you know your student is an ASU Online student, you can use this feature if the student needs help with things like time management and a connection to ASU support resources. + Free form text box option
