Progress Reports
Course Progress Reports allow instructors to easily communicate quick feedback - especially areas of concern - to students enrolled in a given course. The tool is designed to support students who are having academic challenges with the goal of helping you stay on top of your coursework. By submitting a progress report, instructors can provide you with feedback and connect you to campus resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Progress reports are feedback from instructors that is submitted in our shared student portal. Instructors are encouraged to provide constructive feedback on course performance and attendance. Progress reports are intended to:
- Bridge communication between instructors, students, and advisors when students are experiencing academic difficulties;
- Connect students to university resources that could be valuable in helping them become academically successful; and ultimately
- Put students in touch with a collaborative, caring support system.
What do I do when I receive a progress report?
- You may receive progress reports that tell you information you already knew (a grade on a recent test), give you encouragement for the hard work you are putting in, and/or alert you to a concern about your performance in the class.
- If you are struggling in the course or facing challenges impacting your academics, there are a number of steps you can take:
- First, if the information shared is new to you, talk with the instructor to better understand the feedback provided in the progress report.
- Second, take advantage of campus resources. Talk with your Advisor to develop an action plan that includes resources, strategies, and considers the academic options available.
- Resources include: Academic Success Center, course-based tutoring, Wellness Coaching, Libraries.
- Third, acknowledge that you are more than just a student. Take advantage of resources on campus to support you as a whole person.
- Resources include: Counseling Center, Prevention Services, Campus Community Centers, student organizations.
Are Progress Reports part of my transcript?
- No, progress reports will not appear on your official or unofficial transcripts.
Who can see my Progress Report?
- When instructors submit a progress report, the feedback and comments they enter becomes visible to Academic Advisors in MyPack. This information helps Advisors stay informed when meeting with you and their other students. Student support staff with access to student records in MyPack are also able to view the Progress Report. The CARES Team, for example, frequently consults this information when concern has been shared for a student.
