System Alerts

For career colleges nationwide, it is extremely important to be able to keep track of your students’ academic progress. Making sure they stay on track with key metrics and system alerts can help ensure successful completion of their program of study. Using the STARS student information system as your platform to do this for all of your students will help your postsecondary career school succeed. With STARS, all critical student information is entered into one convenient student record. From that record, your entire team can monitor the progress of your students for success.

To aid your team in monitoring each college student's progress, STARS is equipped with an alert system that provides up-to-the minute student information on a variety of measurable metrics. We call them “triggers.” Triggers can be any measurable data point for information available in STARS. Anything from monitoring the student's grades and attendance to the sending of communications to the lead or student can be “triggered.”

There are currently over 60 triggers to choose from with new ones being added to the list every day. Here are a few examples that are currently available in the STARS “trigger” library:

  • Lead and Student Appointment Reminders
  • Financial Aid Alerts
  • Attendance Alerts
  • Grade Point Average Alerts
  • Program Completion Mid-Points
  • Completed Hours and/or Credits
  • Academic Warning and/or Probation

Trigger alerts can be delivered to any STARS user. Once your triggers have been set-up by the team at STARS, you can choose which members of your team will receive which triggers. And, you have a choice of how often those triggers are sent and by what means you wish to receive them. There are four options on how frequently triggers can be sent:

  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly
  • Once per lead/student

Users can also choose their preferred method of receiving the notifications. Trigger alerts can come as one of the following:

  • Task on STARS desktop
  • Standard Email
  • Formatted Email
  • Text Message

Trigger set-up is easy in the STARS student information system. Just talk to your STARS Campus Solutions team member to get your personalized triggers built into your system. Contact us today if you need help setting up your system alert triggers.
