Student Mentoring – First Alert

First Alert enables faculty to refer students who are doing poorly in class or who have frequent or unexcused absences. The process is simple; just fill out the form online and submit it. The SAM Center will acknowledge receiving it and begin the process of contacting the student to offer assistance. You will be notified as to the outcome. It is most helpful if you make referrals early in the semester, especially before the last date to drop classes. That way, the intervention can be more effective.
