Introducing the Early Alert System and Student Success Referral Form
When it comes to helping our students, timing is everything. The sooner we know a
student is struggling, the faster we can step in with the right support to get them
back on track. That’s exactly why we have developed the Early Alert System. However,
we need your help to use it early, often, and without hesitation.
Here’s the truth: Every missed assignment, every class absence, and every sign of
trouble you notice could be the moment that changes a student’s entire semester. The
Early Alert System gives us the chance to catch those moments before they become bigger
problems.

Canvas Dashboard Shortcut

other quick links. See the image for reference.
Submit as often as needed
• We want you to overuse this system. No referral is too small. If you notice a concern,
let us know.
Why This Matters
• Early action = higher student success
• More alerts = more students reached on time
• Your referral = our chance to help
Our Student Success team is ready to jump in from the moment you hit “Submit.” Together,
we can make sure no student slips through the cracks.
Thank you for being the eyes and ears for our students’ success. Let’s make sure they
get the support they need, when they need it.
