Starting later this fall, all Academic Success Center information related to faculty & staff will be available exclusively on the University of Tennessee’s Employee Hub.
You can already access this information on the HUB and explore additional resources designed to help you support students as a University employee.
Academic alerts are a proactive way for instructors to recognize students’ growth and connect them with support when challenges arise.
The Academic Success Center helps students access resources such as professional academic coaching, peer learning assistants (PLAs), supplemental instruction (SI), and campus support services.
Submit an Academic Alert
Alerts submitted through Vol Connect go directly to a student’s assigned professional academic coach.
Academic Alert Guide
This guide contains step-by-step directions for submitting academic alerts in Vol Connect.
Refer a Student
The Student Referral Form connects any individual undergraduate to academic support, whether they could benefit from recognition or are experiencing challenges.
