Early Alert Statement

Columbia College seeks to support students’ academic, personal and professional goals by holding them accountable to the expectations that will allow them to succeed (i.e., class attendance, participation, completing of reading and assigned projects). In the event that a Columbia College student fails to meet the above mentioned expectations, a faculty and/or staff member may utilize our Early Alert System Via EAB Navigate to submit a report expressing the concerns they have regarding the observed behavior. Once an alert is submitted, the student will be contacted by The Office of Student Success, faculty advisor, coach, or course instructor to ensure students have knowledge of the appropriate resources, information, and support needed to aid in their success. If you receive such message, please respond promptly and respectfully.
