SAGE Early Alerts

The SAGE Early Alert module is TracCloud’s early-alert referral system. It allows faculty and support center staff to submit referrals or progress reports for students who may be struggling academically or have other concerns. Through an online form, a professor can flag a student and indicate the issue (e.g., poor attendance, low grades, personal concern) and SAGE will route that information to the appropriate support staff. Based on how the referral is configured, TracCloud can automatically notify relevant parties – for example, send an email to the student’s academic advisor or to a tutoring center coordinator to reach out proactively. SAGE basically creates a case for the student: support staff can record follow-ups, note whether the student was contacted, and close the loop. This helps colleges be proactive in connecting at-risk students with resources. This early-warning systems ensures no student “falls through the cracks” when faculty raise a concern.

You can think of SAGE like a three-step process.

1. Creation, a referral is submitted, emails are sent out.
These emails could be sent to advisors, professors, or the student themselves, notifying us of something the student may be struggling with.
2. Follow-up, more information is given, new emails are sent out.
The follow-up email lets relevant users know how this referral is going, what has been done, and what we are doing to help this student.
3. Resolution, a final email is sent out to wrap everything up.
Once the referral has been processed, we can fill out some additional information letting the relevant users know what we did to help this student.

Creating and Completing Referrals

There are multiple ways to create referrals for students, depending on which method best fits your campus workflow. Referrals can be created by faculty via the class roster, or by advisors or other staff from student profiles.
