Feedback
Faculty:
 8 faculty Participated
 All were very familiar with the Academic Alert program
 ½ have already recommended it to their peers and all of them will recommend it in the future
 All believe it’s an efficient way to help students in need
 Of those faculty members that have already referred students to the resource:
1. Many of them saw a positive change in their students
2. If they did not, they attribute this to the students role in the process (not leaving the correct contact information and thus not being contacted, choosing not to take the recommendations of campus resources etc.)
What they like about the program:
 Convenience and ease of use
 That there is another person invested in seeing their students succeed
 That they have support and receive updates from the advisor throughout the process

What do they want next: The ability to update an existing submission and follow-up with the student and Alert Advisor throughout the semester


Students:
 15 students participated
 13 of 15 said they were contacted (that 2 that were not had been called but there contact information was not correct, postcards were sent)
All Of the students who chose to meet with their alert advisor and take action:
 Received a referral to the tutoring center
 Felt the academic alert program was very helpful
 Have seen a positive change in their academic success
Overall students liked that through the program they received a “wake up call” but were then “encouraged” and “supported” by their advisor

What do they want next: More communication and follow-up throughout the semester.
