Raising Manual Flags and Kudos

Good to know:

Raising a flag or kudos (manually or via a early alert or mid-term report survey) on your student will

• be captured in the student’s MavCONNECT record

• produce an automatic email from the Office of Student Success to the student regarding the flag or kudo

• Your comments on the flag or kudo will be included in the email to the student

• notify applicable support service personnel in the student’s MavCONNECT success network who may then reach out to the student, comment on their outreach efforts and interactions with the student about the flag, and “clear” the flag if satisfactory outreach was made.

• The flag raiser may receive a message about outreach efforts made

• the flag raiser, the student’s assigned advisor, and other applicable members of the student’s success network are able to view a journal of the activity on the flag for the student
