Impact: Instructors, Administrators
Notifications of certain student-related alerts help instructors be more aware of students who may be at risk. To help, we've made it easy for instructors to control what student alerts they receive in their Activity Stream.
The “Student Alerts” options are:
- Low overall grade
- Missed due date alert
- and Last access alert

Administrators can control these 3 notifications at the institutional level in the administrator panel.
Notifications are:
- Student Last Access Alert for Instructors
- Student Low Overall Grade Alert for Instructors
- Students Missed Due Dates Alert for Instructors

Key considerations:
- These alerts are only available for courses.
- Courses must have at least 10 students and no more than 2000 students. Courses with enrollments outside of that range won’t receive notifications.
- Notifications for these alerts are sent nightly only when new alerts are met.
For administrators: This feature is available for all Ultra courses.
To view the Course Activity and Student Activity Details reports, the user’s role needs to have “Course/Organization Control Panel (Grade Center) > View Grades” privilege. These notifications are based on the values set in the Course Activity alert settings.
