Early Alert System (EAS)
As the fall semester is underway, the Office of Academic Success would like to thank you for your continued support of our students. I am writing to let you know that the Early Alert System (EAS) is available for faculty use. EAS plays a pivotal role in identifying student needs and providing guidance and resources for students.
The EAS is a tool designed to allow faculty to provide “just-in-time” feedback to students, advisors, and the staff in the Office of Academic Success so that critical academic interventions and support can be provided to our students when needed. The program is easy to use and provides a comprehensive range of information to coordinators in the Office of Academic Success, academic advisors, and our students.
You can submit an early alert by logging in at earlyalert.wilkes.edu. You can also access Early Alert through a single sign-on in LIVE under the More Tools drop-down menu in the navigation bar of a course.
To learn more about how to use the system and learn more about some of the new features, watch the videos below:
We encourage all faculty to use the EAS as much as possible, in particular those faculty teaching courses targeted primarily to first and second year students. While we emphasize these courses, the system is available for all undergraduate courses. We believe that our EAS has continued to play a significant role in our ability to reduce the percent of first year students on academic probation.
If you have any issues with Early Alert or suggestions to make Early Alert more effective, please feel free to reach out.
