Traditional Early Alert Referral

The Office of Student Success partners with faculty and staff to identify students who may be experiencing challenges that could impact their academic success. Early Alert referrals allow our team to provide timely outreach, connect students with appropriate resources, and help remove barriers before they become larger concerns.

Please submit an Early Alert through Cougar360 on your OKTA dashboard if you are concerned about a student’s academic progress or well-being. Common reasons for submitting an Early Alert include:

  • Missing approximately one week of classes or demonstrating a pattern of absences
  • Declining academic performance or classroom engagement
  • Significant changes in behavior that may be affecting academic success
  • Concerning communication or coursework that suggests a student may be struggling
  • Personal, financial, or basic needs concerns that may impact a student’s ability to succeed

Early intervention is one of the most effective ways to support student persistence and success. The information you provide through Cougar360 helps the Office of Student Success determine the most appropriate outreach and support for each student.
