Purpose: The Academic Alert System is a web-based application that supports communication among instructors, advisors, and students in cases where students are not meeting academic course requirements. This new on-line system replaces the old “paper version” of the Early Warning System and is intended to improve student retention through increased early intervention.

The following diagram illustrates how the academic alert system works:
