Report Message Button

Use this button to report spam or phishing messages to Microsoft and the Security team. This method of reporting messages is preferred over simply forwarding the message to the Security team as it provides an easier way for the Security team to block messages if necessary. It also helps train the FAU mail system regarding junk or malicious messages to improve detection accuracy.

An integral component of this accreditation review is evaluation of the institution’s Quality Enhancement Plan or QEP. During the visit, reviewers may ask students, faculty, or staff about the QEP titled: Education Reimagined: Engaging Students through Peer-Assisted Learning. It is essential that all members of the community are familiar with the QEP.   

If you would like to learn more, please join us for one of three 20-minute online QEP information sessions:
Tuesday, March 26 3 – 3:20 p.m.
Wednesday, March 27 11 – 11:20 a.m.

For security purposes, register for the session you select by clicking the date/time and the Zoom link will be emailed to you.  

These sessions will be 10 minutes of information about the QEP, followed by your questions. We hope people throughout the university community are excited about the new plans at FAU to engage and excite students in the learning process through course redesign with the LA model. For additional information, visit www.fau.edu/QEP. For questions or accommodations, email qep@fau.edu.
