Early Intervention Program

The Director of Academic Services coordinates the Early Intervention Program, which seeks to identify students who are at risk of failure to meet institutional expectations for acceptable academic, labor, and social performance. In cases where the College becomes aware of student difficulty, the student’s Academic Adviser and/or the coordinator of the Early Intervention Program may initiate contact with the student.

Faculty members may report excessive absences to the Early Intervention Program. An attendance check with the student’s other instructors will be conducted to determine if the problem is widespread. A student demonstrating attendance problems in two or more courses may be called in for counseling and academic assistance. The student’s adviser and the instructor who initiated the attendance check will be notified of any action. Excessive attendance problems may result in college-initiated administrative withdrawal. (See “Academic Difficulty” below and “Withdrawals and Cancellations” in the Student Handbook for more information.)
