Faculty Referral Program

By identifying these students, advisors in The Advising Center can address their needs, increasing the likelihood of their academic success. The program aids in the early detection of students who:

• Are performing poorly in class,
• Chronically absent or tardy,
• And having other problems that may be affecting their academic performance.

If you notice that a student begins to show signs of struggle in your class, please fill out the form linked below. An advisor will contact the student who you referred and invite them to come in to discuss strategies for college success, and campus resources that may be helpful to the student.

• Provisionally admitted students
• Students who have been placed on probation or suspension
• First-year students with midterm grades below 2.0
