Student Information

Each semester, your professors receive an email from the Deeann Griebel Student Success Center during weeks 3 and 7, asking them to participate in an early alert survey. This survey is used to identify students who may be at risk in their classes (or to confirm that they have no concerns at that given time). Students could be considered at-risk due to one or more of the following alert types:

• Academic - Below a C grade in the course.
• Attendance - Poor attendance is affecting the student's success. 
• Financial - Student has self-disclosed financial difficulties that may be affecting their education.
• Personal - Student has self-disclosed personal problems or health-related issues that may be affecting their education.

A comment section is also available for your professors to provide additional comments and/or further explanation of the alert. 

Once the survey expires, a member of the Early Alert Intervention Team will notify you if you have received an early alert using one or more of the following contact methods to request a meeting:

• Email
• Phone Call and/or Text Message
• Post Card

During your meeting, a staff member will discuss the alert, resources available to support your success, and a general discussion of your experience at SMSU, short- and long-term goals, campus involvement, and educational intent at SMSU.
