Repeated removals from class: invite the student to a meeting

Built by Edusign · Cheating and removals

Beyond a one-off incident, a repeated pattern calls for a meeting. The alert spots it without the student office having to cross-check reports.

Why turn on this alert

Two removals in different classes often go unnoticed: each instructor only sees their own. The alert adds up removals over 6 months and triggers the meeting request.

  • The student is invited to book a slot.
  • The student office is notified at the same time.
  • No more cross-checking reports by hand.
