Purpose

Academic Status Reports (ASRs) are one way faculty instructors can provide students with early, personalized feedback about a student’s progress in a class. ASRs can provide positive feedback and are used to identify students in need of extra support. Instructors teaching 100 and 200-level courses are expected to generate ASRs early and often.  

This video demonstrates how to submit an ASR through My ASU. After opening a course roster, instructors can assign either a letter grade or a "Satisfactory / Unsatisfactory" status to one student at a time or an entire group. They can select from a menu of clarifying reasons or enter their own. Finally, instructors can suggest next steps for support. Students are notified weekly through My ASU and via system-generated emails when they receive an ASR.

Embedded media means videos or audios will be playable directly in a course. Students will not need to navigate away from the course in order to gain access. In addition, embedding items from MediaAMP will prevent students from sharing to other sites or accessing it outside of ASU Canvas. Please embed media from MediaAMP into your Canvas courses to create interactive course material and prevent unauthorized distribution.
