Information for Students
In the first few weeks of a new semester, there are always adjustments to make, and some students may find they experience greater challenges than others.
Early identification of issues and timely support may make all the difference to your success in a program.
Early Alert is an online referral system that enables instructors to identify, in the first 5 weeks of a new semester, students who are facing challenges in their courses or programs. Students referred to Early Alert will be contacted by e-mail and invited to meet with a member of the Student Access and Support Department. The student will then be connected with appropriate support services or resources.
Early Alert is designed to help you be as successful as possible in your courses or program. Early Alert is not punitive or judgmental. Early Alert is completely confidential and will not appear on transcripts.
You can also self-refer to Early Alert. If you recognize any of the following behaviours or think that you need some support, please e-mail earlyalert@selkirk.ca.
- Struggling with coursework
- Absenteeism
- Frequent lateness
- Falling asleep in class
- Overdue or incomplete assignments
- Failed assignments/quizzes
