Additional Programs and Services

The Student Success Team engages in various programs and services in order to assist Community College students in their academic and educational pursuits.

Early Alert Program

The Early Alert Program serves as an effective way to monitor students who are not succeeding in their courses and provide them assistance and potential interventions in order to be able to improve their level of academic achievement.  The Student Success Team works collaboratively with faculty members to identify students who need some assistance, and then works with students individually to develop a plan for the student in order to be successful in their courses.  For more information, please call the Student Success Center at 202.274.5800.
