Along with the other senior CUNY colleges, CUNY SPS has been a member of the EAB Student Success Collaborative since Fall 2019. EAB Navigate is our student success management system, a comprehensive online early alert platform that provides tools to advisors, faculty, academic support specialists, and others in order to better collaborate and assist students on their journey to graduation.

Beginning in Fall 2021 we will use the EAB Progress Report functionality to replace previous processes for identifying non-participating students in all undergraduate programs and for Midterm Evaluations, replacing the Gradus System.

The EAB Progress Report process replaces asking professors to email the Office of Advisement about non-participating students. Weekly Blackboard data extracts are used to identify students who have not logged into their Blackboard course site in over a week. A communications plan based on Blackboard data extracts will launch in the first week of the semester and will conlude prior to Midterm Evaluations.

Faculty will receive emails from the Director of the Office of Advising about completing Blackboard Login Progress Reports and from the Senior Associate Dean with instructions for completing Midterm Evaluations.

You may also use the new Ad Hoc Alert feature to let Advisors know if a student is struggling in your course, whether logging in to the course but is not submitting work, submitting unsatisfactory work, or another issue that you’d like to surface. You can also send kudos to your students via Ad Hoc Alerts if you’d like to congratulate them for doing a good job. To learn more about Ad Hoc alerts, click on the link Ad-Hoc Alerts & Case Management link below.
