Instructor Concerns Tool

What is the Instructor Concerns Tool?

The Instructor Concerns tool is a digital tool available in Brightspace used to record concerns that are subsequently delegated to the Office of Student Support team. Faculty who are unable to connect with a student and have concerns about their academic status are able to refer students to their Advisors for help dropping a course, going on an LOA, etc., by using the Instructor Concern feature in the Brightspace classroom.

Non-Academic Concerns: If a Faculty member senses that a student is at risk of harm to themselves or others and believes some immediate intervention is appropriate, they should use the PG Interdepartmental Referral Form. Review Appendix A of the Faculty Handbook for more information about student referrals.
