Matriculation: Follow-Up

The student’s academic progress is systematically monitored and, when necessary, appropriate intervention strategies are applied. Instructors are the main contributors to this effort through their contacts with students. At L.A. Harbor College the Early Alert system has been established to identify students who are beginning to experience difficulties in their courses before they encounter serious academic problems.
The Early Alert system could generate a letter to students to contact their professors, visit the Learning Resource Center for tutoring, and to make a counseling appointment to discuss their academic problems. A phone call follows the letter to encourage the students to make the counseling appointment.
