Progress Reports

What is a Progress Report?

A Progress Report is an early intervention tool that the University of Houston-Victoria uses to identify & contact students that exhibit behaviors or habits that inhibit their success in the classroom. 

It is our belief that early intervention allows time & opportunity for students to make necessary adjustments to their academic performance through the use of academic services/resources, communication with faculty, & support from their Success Coach/Adviser.

Progress Reports come from the faculty & are processed by the Student's Advisors or Coaches.  Faculty members are encouraged to submit Progress Reports when students display academic, social, or emotional difficulties, such as:

Progress Reports are not meant to stop communication between professor and students.

If you receive an Progress Report:

  1. Contact your Advisor or Success Coach informing them that you have received the notification. They can discuss ways to improve and recommend you to valuable resources.

Remember, your Advisor or Success Coach is here to help but only if you are willing to do the work.
