Science and Math Early Alert

The Science and Math Early Alert program is a supportive, voluntary system designed to help students succeed. Midway through the semester, faculty may refer students who are experiencing academic challenges to their academic advisor. This is not a penalty, it's an opportunity to connect with your instructor, advisor, and campus resources to get back on track and reach your goals.

Courses Included

In Fall 2025, Science and Math Early Alertapplies to the following courses:

• BIOL 211
• CHEM 102, 111A, 111B
• MATH 111, 112A, 112B, 113, 119A, 122, 123

Note that not every section participates, and instructors are not required to use Early Alert. Always check directly with your instructor for the most accurate information about your progress.

If You Receive an Early Alert

Receiving an Early Alert is an invitation to take action and use the resources available to you. Here's what to do:

1. Meet with your instructor – Ask for feedback and strategies to improve your performance.
2. Connect with your academic advisor – They can help you create a personalized success plan.
3. Use campus resources, such as:
   • Math and Science Tutoring
   • Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS)
   • CNSM Resilience Project

How Advisors Support You

Your academic advisor will work with you to find the best path forward. Depending on your needs, they may:

• Schedule a one-on-one advising appointment to design a success plan.
• Recommend tutoring, workshops, or other campus resources.
• Suggest strategies for your current or upcoming courses.
• Help you choose a class schedule that fits your strengths and goals.
• Provide additional support as needed.

Remember: Early Alert is about support, not punishment. It's a chance to connect, regroup, and use the tools available to help you succeed.
