The document describes a student alert function that allows instructors to submit alerts about students through a school's online system. Instructors can choose the proposed method of contact for the alert, such as a standard or formatted email, formatted letter to be mailed, phone call, or contacting the campus. The system guides instructors to select a course, view the student roster, see past alert histories, choose an alert option and method of contact, and receive confirmation that the alert has been submitted.
