Progress Report Guide

Find the Progress Report request email sent to you via cppconnect@cpp.edu at selected points in the semester. Click on the link within the email. If you have trouble opening the link, copy and paste the unique link address into your browser. All undergraduate courses and sections you are teaching will be on one Progress Report page. Please note that the image below is just an example. There is a deadline to complete the Progress Report that will be illustrated within the email you receive.

The Progress Report link will open the following page on your browser.

If none of your students need additional support, do not make any selections. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click on "Submit unmarked students as not in need of additional support (I'm all done)". 

For each student that needs additional support, indicate:

• The alert reason(s) by selecting any alert(s) from the drop-down options

You also have the option to include: 

• How many absences they have had since the beginning of the term
• The student's current grade 
• Any comments (Please note that these comments are visible to anyone who uses CPP Connect. Keep the comments brief and general.)

Once you have completed a Progress Report for each student in your course, click on "Submit unmarked students as not in need of additional support (I'm all done)".

• Current Self-injurious behavior
• Active Suicidal ideation or attempt where immediate intervention such as hospitalization is necessary
• Immediate Danger or threat to others (violence, threats or implied threats of violence and intimidation)
• Possession of a weapon
• Inability of an individual to take care of themselves (concern for mental health or substance abuse issues)
• Erratic behavior that is disruptive to the normal proceedings of the campus community

When Alert/Referral Should Be Made

You may select the “Non-Urgent Support” alert reason on your Progress Report when you suspect a student may need support, but more information needs to be gathered. For example, non-urgent wellbeing concerns may include students who express a lack of connection to the university, students who communicate that they are very stressed, or students who are falling asleep in class.

What Actions Take Place After Referral Is Made

The Early Support advising team and campus partners will receive a student’s information. An advisor will invite the student to schedule an appointment within 1-2 weeks from the time an instructor submits a non-urgent wellbeing alert. Students will be contacted via email a minimum of 2 times during the semester and encouraged to schedule a meeting to talk about their semester progress and holistic resources.

When Alert/Referral Should Be Made

Select this reason if the student has missed a significant number of classes, and this has a negative impact on their overall grade in your course.

What Actions Take Place After Referral Is Made

CPP Connect will send the student an automated email for each course where the Excessive Absenteeism alert is selected, encouraging them to speak with their instructor if they are having difficulty attending class. The email also informs students about academic advising resources, withdrawal and important policies and deadlines.

Dear {$student_first_name},

We noticed that you’ve missed some of your classes this term, and we want to support you! We know that balancing life and class can be a challenge, so we’re reaching out to let you know that you have options. 

• Talk to your instructor. If you have been missing class or assignment deadlines, we encourage you to reach out to your instructor to find out how you can continue making progress in your course(s). Office hours are a great opportunity to connect with your instructor too. 
• Explore withdrawal options. If your plans have changed and you don’t plan on continuing with a course, we recommend speaking with your instructor to discuss your options. In some instances, you may wish to withdraw from a course. If this is the case, please review the university withdrawal policies and deadlines. Before withdrawing, we recommend reaching out for help!  

The Bronco Advising Center and your college advisor are part of a dedicated team that will support you if you are experiencing any challenges this term. If you have any questions about academic deadlines or policies, visit our drop-in hours or email us at bac@cpp.edu. For guidance on your courses and academic plan, you can schedule a meeting with your advisor via CPP Connect.  

Sincerely,

Early Support Team
