Faculty and Advisor Resources

Faculty are encouraged to submit Academic Alerts when students are experiencing academic difficulty. These students are then notified by email and offered assistance that will help them complete their classes successfully. 

Faculty Submit Academic Alerts on Stellic

Submitting the alert has seven steps, with Steps 6 and 7 being the most important. Please follow them to ensure the alert is submitted correctly. 

How to Submit Academic Alerts

Identifying Academic Alerts for Advisees

Identifying Academic Alerts for Your Advisees

Equitable access to good, accurate advising has been proven to increase student retention and completion. To this end, all academic advisors want to provide accurate and timely information to the students they assist. The Advisor's Handbook is designed to provide information to new advisors and to serve as a resource for more experienced advisors.

We have also created an Advisor Training module in Canvas which contains additional resources related to advising, and prior to being assigned as an academic advisor for students, faculty should contact the Academic Advising and Career Development Office to be added to this organization so they can access these resources. Please email careerserv@unk.edu.

Academic Advising and Career Development is dedicated to preparing UNK students for life after college and collaborating with faculty and staff plays a vital part in achieving this goal. Please take some time to consider how our services could benefit your students. Thank you for considering our services.
