early alert program

The Early Alert Program is designed to identify those students who are having academic difficulty at any point in their four years at UNCP. By identifying these students, we the staff of the Center for Academic Excellence, can address their needs, thereby increasing the likelihood of their success. The primary goal of this program is to assist faculty and staff in improving the motivation and performance of underachieving students in an effort to better UNCP's retention of these students.

There are often good causes for poor academic performance including problems with family, financial aid, work, health, as well as difficulty with the transition from high school to college for freshman. Faculty, through regular contact with students, are the first to see the results of these problems which manifest themselves through low test and quiz scores, failure to turn in assignments, poor class attendance, and poor class participation.

Faculty often do not have the time to get to the root of each student's problem. Therefore, it is important that faculty take time to refer students to the Center for Academic Excellence. We will contact and meet with the student on an individual basis and help him or her seek solutions to the problems.

How Early Alert works:

  1. Faculty refer students to us.
  2. We contact the student and provide information on campus resources.
  3. We counsel and advise the student about ways to address the academic difficulties.
  4. We report back to the faculty the outcome of the meeting with the student.
