Faculty Feedback
Faculty Feedback is Oakland University's Early Alert system used as a communication tool for faculty to let undergraduate students know if faculty are concerned about academic progress.
The Faculty Feedback system is
- opened for the first six weeks of both the Fall and Winter semesters;
- is only required for the 000 - 2000 level undergraduate courses;
- an opportunity for faculty to share with their students any academic concerns early in the semester;
- an opportunity for students to take action on the steps noted in the email received and make academic progress in the course.
Listed below are the action steps that a student may receive from the Faculty Feedback program. Students are encouraged to follow up on these action steps to enhance their academic success for the course feedback was submitted.
Students with any additional questions about the email received are encouraged to contact their Academic Adviser.
Regularly attending class is one of the best indicators of success in a course. If you’re having difficulty attending class, it might be time to assess where your time, energy and attention go. Utilize online resources to get started.
If you thought you dropped the course, be sure to check on MySail to verify your schedule.

Schedule a writing consultant appointment online here. Writing consultants are available by appointment to students needing assistance at any stage of the writing process or with writing assignments. They help students explore ideas, revise drafts and develop the skills necessary to become competent writers.
You can also set up an appointment to talk with your Academic Adviser about an academic success plan or the Academic Coach for strategies to help boost your success in the classroom.
If you have an unexpected emergency or catastrophic situation, consult with your Academic Adviser right away.
Faculty want to see students succeed in their classroom. When a faculty member uses the Faculty Feedback system early enough in a semester, this empowers students to take action for their academic success.
Faculty with any additional questions about the Faculty Feedback system are encouraged to contact the Office of Student Success.
