Early Alerts
Increase student retention in your course
Early Alerts in MyLab® and Mastering® allow instructors to do what you do best — teach, inspire, and motivate your students.
Early Alerts use predictive analytics based on students’ work in MyLab and Mastering, such as assignment scores and correct answers on first try. This information helps identify struggling students as early as possible — even if their assignment scores are not a cause for concern. With this insight, you can provide informed feedback and support at the very moment students need it, so students can stay — and succeed — in your course.
- Quickly see which students are at risk.
- Customize risk settings to match your class.
- Aggregate risk levels across multiple courses.
- Email students individually or by group to provide feedback.
Want to check Early Alerts out? Look for Early Alerts with your MyLab and Mastering Gradebook, under Performance Analytics.

Early Alerts show risk levels for both the class and individual students.
