An Overview
At any given college, some students struggle academically in their courses. They may have frequent absences, miss assignments, and/or perform poorly on assignments. Just as importantly, some students may not know who they should contact for assistance. As such, our Early Alert (EA) program provides students with critical support and essential guidance to counter factors that could inhibit their success.
The Process
By issuing alerts, instructors identify students who exhibit behaviors that could impede academic progress. The identified students receive an email requesting that they meet with their instructors to discuss the alert. At the same time, Student Services team members reach out to students also to provide appropriate intervention and assistance.
