Early Alert is a computerized email based system of early warning and follow-up for students identified as having academic difficulties anytime in the semester AND a feedback procedure for all instructors regarding the specific actions taken by their identified students.

It consolidates all traditional "academic progress reports" into one roster and establishes a systematic referral process for students experiencing academic difficulties. It is designed to be efficient and technologically user-friendly for instructional and support staff, as well as informative, direct and non-threatening for students.
