At East Central College we are in the middle of a fully web-based Early Alert System pilot. This is a Title III endeavor. Our letters sent out to faculty are similar to those already posted by others. I have attached a syllabus blurb that the majority of faculty and all FYE sections put in their syllabus. We do not use a text form, but our system is an in house created product using open source philosophy. It is searchable by new, open, closed, or refused referrals. You can search both by faculty and students. Faculty who log onto the system have their classes listed. Click on the class link and class rosters appear, click on the student to start a new referral. Once the referral is sent, the Retention Specialist or team contacts the student and works with service providers on campus to provide the service needed for each student. The service provider is then able to log onto the system and update what action was taken, whether it was a satisfactory outcome, or if future service is needed. This is a quickly evolving program. As new needs arise we are able to accommodate them due to this being an open source product, we can make the changes and upgrade the system to our liking. So far this fall, we have been extremely busy with referrals. We are collecting data so we can assess the benefits of our system and the services we are providing.

Lantta Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 11:07 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Early Warning Intervention Good Morning! I am in the process of creating a web-based form that will be available to faculty to assist my office in quickly identifying students with a "C" or lower in classes typically taken by freshmen and sophomores (i.e. Psychology, Eng. 101). I am interested in looking at forms created by other institutes and/or information on how your offices identify students in academic jeopardy. Eventually we know that this form will need to be connected to a database through Access, but right now I'm working on creating a form that will provide ease of use for faculty members. Any help would be appreciated as this is the first experience I've had in creating a web-based structure. Thanks. Melissa M.
