My Wildcat Success, aka myWildcatSuccess (mWS), is the UNH brand for EAB Navigate; a collaborative student success management system used to communicate, make appointments, track academic progress and alerts, and improve overall student support.
Early Alerts
One of the ways UNH can proactively support students is to identify those students who are struggling early in the semester. Here’s how it works:
- Week 5 (for Durham & Manchester), Faculty receive a link in an email from the VPAA that takes them directly to their Progress Reports. Progress Reports are open for ten days. For large capacity classes, faculty may forward the link to a TA. Mark only those students at-risk by choosing the one alert reason that is most relevant. Objective comments to give context is appreciated. Comments are viewable by the student.
- The student and their academic advisor are notified of the alert via email. The advisor may reach out to the student if warranted. The student is encouraged to speak to their faculty member.
- Instructors may report an alert anytime throughout the semester by logging in to mWS (unh.campus.eab.com) viewing courses on their home page and clicking on Progress Report to the right of any course and following instructions.
Syllabus Guidance Language
Faculty can include the following language on their syllabus to help students understand use of Progress Reports and alerts:
Sample Syllabus Statement: Early Alert Progress Report - Durham
The University is invested in your academic success, and myWildcatSuccess is a tool to help you, your faculty, and your advisors communicate. If a faculty member is concerned about your academic behavior or performance, they may submit an academic alert -- particularly around Week 5. Academic alerts are not punitive. The goal is to provide you with support and resources to support your success. If you receive an academic alert, you will receive an email to your UNH email address from my name in the format <Instructor Name> [Notification] on behalf of <Instructor Name>. Alternately, find your Progress Reports under the Reports tab in myWildcatSuccess. To get to myWildcatSuccess, search for it under Tools in the portal https://my.usnh.edu/dashboard and save it to Shortcuts.
If you receive an alert, please meet with your faculty member or your advisor about the concern. The purpose of these alerts is to encourage you to visit the campus resources you need early on, so that you can get back on track for a successful semester.

Academic alerts are not punitive. The goal is to provide you with support and resources to support your success. They act as an important check-in point and, if you receive an academic alert, you will receive an email to your UNH email address. It is strongly recommended that you meet with a professional advisor and connect with your instructor to discuss the reason for the alert.
