IUS faculty have implemented a new program, FLAGS, in order to help students stay on the track to graduate and, more importantly, to keep them in school. FLAGS stands for “Fostering Learning, Achievement, and Graduation Success.” Faculty now has the ability within their student roster to make note of a student’s attendance. They can also note how regularly they participate and to show if the student has suddenly started slipping academically. The reason for this new program is due to the elimination of the mid-term grade.
