Early
Alert Program
The purpose
of the Early Alert Program is to identify students who are having problems which
may prevent them from achieving academic success in college.
Problems
may fall into one of three categories: some may appear to be of personal
nature which does not affect academic performance; some may be personal and have
a noticeable impact upon academic matters; some may appear to be solely academic
in nature.
Your early
help may make a vital difference in a person's life and have a great effect on
possible drop-out and attrition rates. The Early
Alert Referral Form can be used at any time when you sense a problem with a
student who
-
stops attending class
-
shows unexplainable disinterest
-
fails to turn in assignments
consistently or is consistently late with assignments
-
indicates dissatisfaction,
problems, or lack of purpose in behavior or conversations
-
fails exams or quizzes
consistently
-
has difficulty interpreting or
organizing material contained in textbooks
You may
print out the Early Alert Referral Form. Use
the form to note your concern and include any other information you think is
pertinent. Please send the form to the Counseling Center or call the
Center with your concerns.
A maximum
of three notices will be sent to the student in an attempt to meet with
him/her. You will receive feedback as to whether or not the student met
with the counselor. Sometimes student problems cannot be resolved by
resources available on our campus, but we will make every possible attempt to
help the student.
If you have
any questions about whether you should complete the form and would like to
discuss the possible problem before doing so, please e-mail
me or call me at ext. 4465.
