Early Alert
Early Alert is a proactive student support system initiated by faculty to inform students when there are concerns about academic progress in a class or classes. There are three primary reasons an Early Alert may be sent: attendance issues, academic concerns, or non-academic concerns. Early Alerts are sent to the Vernon College issued student email address. These notifications are also monitored by other Vernon College departments including Student Success, Admissions, and Financial Aid. The purpose of the Early Alert is to encourage students to seek student support services early in an effort to successfully complete the semester.
