Program Goals
The Early Academic Alert Program is designed to increase retention, heighten awareness of individual learning processes, and promote positive student development. The program seeks to provide information about campus resources and to help students reach their academic goals and explore their career options.
The program seeks to address student challenges by maximizing the efficiency of time spent in class or studying. This is achieved through assessment of the student’s current academic challenges at their point of intake to the program, the creation of academic action plans to enhance areas of needed improvement, providing information about on-campus resources to help students reach their academic goals, and exploration of career options.
Instructors and staff members are encouraged to use the referral program throughout the semester; however, remember that the first part of the semester is the most critical.
If you are referring a
student for a conduct issue, please use the Student Conduct Referral.
