Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get more detail on a student?

Any time you see a student’s name as a hyperlink (e.g. in your student list, on an appointment or in a progress survey), this hyperlink takes you to the Student Folder.

How do I change how I am emailed by UASuccess?

UASuccess will email you a calendar item for each appointment and a summary of flag activity for your students. Use the Email Notifications tab in your Profile to modify notification settings. For more information see this Two Minute Tip: Update how you are emailed about Flags.

Where can I find information about flags raised on my students?

The Tracking tab within the Students area lists the flags (and kudos) that have been raised on your students. Use the filters provided to filter your list based on your connection to the students. For example you can filter for your role as advisor versus your role as instructor, or for your role as an instructor in one of your specific course sections.

You can also go into the individual Tracking tab of any Student Folder to look at details of flags raised on that student. The details of what you see are based on your relationship to the student and the privileges granted to your role.
