Early Alert is a program that was rolled-out on the Okanagan campus a couple years ago as a means to help faculty, staff and TAs provide better support for students who are facing difficulties that put their academic success at risk.
Early Alert can identify concerns about students sooner and in a more coordinated way, giving students the earliest possible connection to the right resources and support.
There are resources for UBC faculty and staff available, including presentation slides and suggested text for course syllabi. There is also an online outline of how the program works.
To find out more visit the Early Alert website, contact Senior Academic Advisor Terina Mailer (terina.mailer@ubc.ca or 250-807-8726) or Director of Health and Wellness Roger Wilson (roger.g.wilson@ubc.ca or 250-807-9261).
