Early Alert
Early Alert supports students experiencing personal and academic issues to ensure student success.
What is Early Alert?
The Early Alert Program at CVCC is designed to support student success, both personally and academically. The goal of the program is to promptly identify issues and allow for intervention before students fall behind leading to an increase in student retention and completion. Referrals are allowed at any point during the academic semester.
The Early Alert program is intended to identify students in need of intervention and connect those students with support and access to appropriate resources and services.
Students may be referred for a number of reasons related to academic performance or personal difficulties including the following:
- Financial Issues
- Inappropriate Behavior
- Poor Attendance
- Poor Attitude, Lack of Purpose, and/or Lack of Motivation
- Poor Class Performance-Grades
- Transportation and Childcare
- Other
Please note this service is not to be used for emergency situations. In the event of an emergency, please contact campus security at extension 711 or the Crisis Intervention Team via the switchboard (ext. 0).
