Dear all, Here is the process I use for the Student Referral Form I posted in an earlier e-mail... (this is from the update I provide faculty/staff each semester) I have attached a copy of the Student Referral Form for your convenience. Please complete the form for any referral you make. This form helps me to track the students and maintain documentation if the student submits an appeal to the Academic Actions Committee. The purpose of this form is for you to communicate to me any student that is missing and/or not performing well in your class. Feel free to make copies. I have made a few revisions to the form. Here is a reminder of how the referral process works: If the student is missing... I will contact the student, find out why he/she has been missing class using the OnCourse Wise-Choice Process questions, and encourage him/her to contact you to see if there is an opportunity to make up missed work. I will also offer the student assistance as needed. For example, I will help them with time management or other study skills to stay on task or catch up in their classes. During my conversation with the students, I will let them know that if they do not want to remain in the class that they need to officially withdraw from course. I will also inform them that it is important to officially drop classes if they are not attending and let them know that if they do not officially drop from the course that they will more than likely fail the course. I will share with them that failing the course may impact their financial aid eligibility for future semesters in addition to their GPA. If the student is not performing well... Please encourage the student to seek my assistance and forward me the Student Referral Form with areas that they need to develop. This process has worked well for students in Sue Patrick's history courses. She would provide me a copy of the form she gave the student and I would follow-up with the student. I am hoping that our combined efforts and collaboration in advocating for the student will increase their chances of success. In addition, by increasing my visibility on campus through my classroom visits, I am hoping that students are more receptive to seeking and receiving my help once they have been referred. I will also be using the OnCourse Wise-Choice Process questions to facilitate my discussion with the students. Depending on their particular needs, I will work with the students on study skills development which may include test-taking strategies, note-taking skills, time management, etc. or refer them to the Learning Center tutors if appropriate. The students and I will also complete a Referral Agreement (see attached) together detailing the action(s) they believe will help them get back on track. I will follow-up with each referred student. Related to the referral process, you may also recommend any student that did not do well on an assignment to see me for help. I will sit down with the student to review the assignment and develop strategies to improve on the next assignment. These strategies may include seeing a math or writing tutor. By catching the students early with their individual assignments, I am hoping that you will not need to submit a referral form later in the semester stating that they are failing the whole course.

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.
