Common academic concerns include lack of engagement in the classroom, missed assignments, repeated absences, frequent attempts to obtain extensions on assignments, or failure to respond to repeated communication attempts. The first step to take when there are early signs of academic concerns is to raise an Academic Concern or an In Danger of Failing flag about a student\u2019s academic progress in <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/starfish\/\">Starfish<\/a>. After a flag is raised, and the concern persists, or if the concern requires a higher level of support, please submit a <a href=\"https:\/\/cm.maxient.com\/reportingform.php?UnivofRhodeIsland&amp;layout_id=12\">referral<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-notice-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-notice\" data-hash=\"bc919ddc1cad4bbb6834622c23250dcd\"><h1>Early Alert is Not an Emergency Service<\/h1><p>This page is not for emergencies.
