Early Alert workgroup survey
The Early Alert workgroup is investigating how we can use an early alert system to improve student retention. LLCC’s current Early Alert system is used by some faculty members to report grades at specific times throughout the semester, but it does not have widespread use. Since every LLCC employee interacts with students in some capacity, we would like to hear your ideas on how we can support students through an early alert intervention. Please think about any conversations you’ve had or overheard with students where they have described a gap in service or a barrier they have experienced. We want to gather input from the LLCC community and encourage you to complete a brief survey by Nov. 1.
