Faculty: Sign up by Jan. 18 to participate in Early Alert

Faculty members,

It’s time to sign up to participate in the Early Alert program for the spring semester! Early Alert is a campus-wide initiative designed to identify students who may be experiencing challenges that impact their academic performance. Did you know that the success rates for students who received at least one early alert in the first or second campaigns in fall 2022 and spring 2023 were 32% and 35%, respectively?

The Early Alert program consists of five campaigns: three surveys for students enrolled in 16-week classes and one survey for eight-week classes. During the campaign, faculty can indicate concerns or kudos for each student. The goals are to work with students who may need additional support and celebrate those who are doing well. The student and success coach will be notified via email. The success coach will follow up with the student, note the outcomes of their outreach and eventually close the flag or kudo. Faculty will be able to view these notes. This process reinforces faculty messaging and enhances communications among faculty, students, and success coaches.

If you are interested in participating in this initiative, please submit the Early Alert Participation Form by Jan. 18, 2024. Please contact Dr. Amanda Turner, director of student success, at amanda.turner@llcc.edu if you have any questions.
