- What is Early Alert?

- Early Alert is a way to identify students who are struggling. Early Alert is a tracking system, monitored by the Student Success and First Generation Initiative Center, that utilizes alert submissions from faculty, staff, and leaders across campus to intervene when a student is in need of assistance.
- When should I submit an Early Alert?
- It is recommended that faculty, staff, and leaders attempt to correct student behavior before submitting an early alert. This could be written or verbal communication with the student, within your comfort level.
- After discussing the issue with the student, an alert implies the student has continued the behavior after you have attempted to address it.

- If you are uncomfortable addressing the behavior with the student, either written or verbally, please indicate that when you submit the alert.
