Student Information

Each semester, your professors receive an email from the Deeann Griebel Student Success Center during week 3 and week 7 asking for their participation 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 success of the student. 
• 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 help aid in your success, as well as a general discussion about your experience at SMSU, short and long-term goals, campus involvement, and educational intent at SMSU.
