Academic Status Report

Academic Status Reports (ASR) are a part of an early alert reporting system designed to give you helpful updates throughout the semester. Your instructor submits ASRs based on your performance in the class. An ASR gives you information on how you are doing in class and whether there are concerns related to your class performance, such as poor attendance, missing assignments, or the quality of your work.

An ASR will include your current status or grade and may also include the reason(s) you are receiving an ASR, recommended actions (if needed), and any comments from your instructor. An ASR can inform you that you are doing well in the course or it can alert you that you need to take action to improve your class performance.

ASR notifications are visible on My ASU as a blue triangle icon with an exclamation mark in your My Classes box next to the relevant class. When you click on the icon, you will see the details of the ASR, including your current status or grade. Viewing the ASR will change the triangle icon to gray. All new ASRs will be displayed as the blue triangle icon with an exclamation mark.

A notification message will also be sent to your ASU email account. Depending on the information submitted by the instructor, you may also receive outreach from your advisor or success coach

A grade of “S” or “satisfactory” is a positive message. Your instructor is letting you know that, at this point, you are performing satisfactorily in class and there are no strong concerns about your class performance.

Do not ignore the ASR, it is a signal for you to take action. The purpose of the ASR is to alert you about your performance so you can take action and improve in the class. The first thing is to follow any actions recommended by your instructor. For in-person classes, be sure to attend class sessions. If you have missed or did poorly on assignments or quizzes, contact your instructor or TA. If other reasons affect your class performance, contact your academic advisor (found in My ASU in the “Academic Support Team” box). They can discuss your situation and help provide additional support and resource

Remember: Your instructor sent the ASR because they want you to succeed. Please reach out to your instructor if you have questions or need assistance.
