Do you need to submit a student alert?
Student alerts can be submitted for various reasons including but not limited to poor attendance, conduct, participation, or grades and will either be directed to TASP or The Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities depending on the nature of the alert and the category selected. You'll receive correspondence from the appropriate office making note of the actions taken and student response via the comment section of the alert.
Alerts are submitted via Navigate. Please contact the faculty champion in your area for more information.

Tutoring Support
Tutoring and Academic Support Programs (TASP) provides free drop-in tutoring for MSU students. Located on the first floor of Moffett Library, TASP's Learning center provides tutoring support in a number of core courses and subject areas. Please see the schedule for more information about times and offerings. Remember that you don't need an appointment to utilize these services.
Some departments also provide tutoring. Check the "Tutoring at MSU" tab in the portal for more information about all campus tutoring opportunities.
For Distance Education students, TASP has partnered with Thinkingstorm, an online tutoring company that provides you with high-quality, 24/7 tutoring support. Located at the top of your D2L course page, select the Distance Education Tutoring course to book an appointment with a tutor. If you are a distance education student (i.e. you live more than 50 miles from MSU and are in all online courses), but you do not see this course populate in your D2L course drop-down menu, please contact ashley.hurst@msutexas.edu.
