The University is committed to providing a personal education for each of our students, and the Early Alert Program is a key part of this vision. When parents, faculty, or staff members are concerned about the physical, emotional, academic or personal health of a University student, the Early Alert Program can assess the situation, offer support and provide referrals to the breadth of resources on-campus.
