Hudson Valley Community College’s Early Alert/Warning System has been renamed the College Success Referral System(CSRS) and now is open for Fall 2014!
The process in WIReD to identify students to receive College Success Referrals, the Faculty Feedback Form in WIReD, opened for use for the Fall 2014 semester on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Hudson Valley Community College is introducing an enhanced College Success Referral System based on the institution’s commitment to developing a systemic and integrated approach to student retention. The college recognizes that early detection of academic difficulties will increase the college’s ability to offer the student access to the appropriate support systems. To this end, the CSRS recognizes the importance of:
- easing the new student’s transition into the college environment
- early systematic identification of those students who may be academically at risk
- early identification of students who may be having difficulties in the classroom
- establishing a common communication link between students and their instructors, advisors, instructional support faculty, and department chairperson.
The College Success Referral System is designed to institutionally support the faculty and academic departments in the identification of and communication with students who are having difficulty in the classroom or with the college experience.
Although the identification process will be available throughout most of the semester, early intervention is key with these students so they can take the steps necessary to succeed before their first exams.
Written instructions for using the College Success Referral System have been sent to all academic departments. The instructions also are available from the following page www.hvcc.edu/issr/csrs.html.
