Early Alert Form

How does the Early Alert System work?

1. A member of the Heidelberg faculty or staff submits a referral through the online form.
2. The Director of Faculty Student Advising & Support and the Assistant Director of the Academic & Career Support Center review the referral.
3. Once a student has been contacted and there is some resolution of the issue, the referring faculty or staff member is contacted via email to follow-up on the progress made with the student.
4. Information that is considered confidential will not be revealed. Please note that some confidential student information cannot be made available to faculty and staff, i.e., counseling referrals.
5. The Director of Faculty Student Advising & Support and the Assistant Director of the Academic & Career Support Center will maintain contact with the student for the remainder of the semester to follow up and provide ongoing support.
