Viewing Comments on Progress Reports
When an Alert is raised through a Progress Report and an instructor provides comments, students can review those comments in either of the following ways:
- Select the MY Docs icon in their Navigate account.
- Review the alert reason notification email that is sent to their Buffalo State University Outlook account.
Students should check both locations regularly so they do not miss important feedback or recommended next steps.
Currently, this feature is only available when an Alert is raised via a Progress Report. Students cannot view comments when an Alert is raised ad-hoc.
Reviewing comments via your My Docs icon.
Step 1: Select your My Docs icon.

Step 2: On your My Docs page, select Progress Reports.

You can also view Appointment Summaries and Notes that have been shared with you by your Success Team. Reports are hidden 180 days after they are created.
