Student Alerts & Referrals
The Center for Student Academic Success invites you to be our partner in helping students who are struggling or in distress by letting us know about students for whom you have concerns. Please read through the types of referrals listed below (Academic Alert, Student of Concern, Peer Mentor Referral).
Students of Concern
A Students of Concern form should be submitted for non-academic related concerns, such as:
- Mental or physical health concerns
- Change in behavior
- Social, family, or personal issues
- Alcohol and/or drug use
Further details can be found on the Students of Concern web page.
Emergency situations should be directed to Public Safety at 401-254-3333.
Academic Alerts
The Academic Alert program is designed to allow faculty and staff to refer students for academic support. Early intervention is key to student success and enables referrals to positively impact the student experience. Alerts can be made at any point in the semester, but the earlier the student meets with an advisor, the better chance they have of resolving the issue at hand. For questions regarding academic alerts, contact Liz Niemeyer, Director of Advising & Peer Mentorship, at eniemeyer@rwu.edu.
Who can generate an alert?
- Faculty can raise an alert for student(s) on their course rosters.
- Faculty advisors can raise an alert for advisee(s) on their advising roster.
- An advisor from the Advising & Peer Mentorship Office can raise an alert for any student.
Who should be referred?
