Early Warning Program

The Early Warning Program is designed for faculty to communicate with Academic Advising and the Office of Academic Success about students who show early signs of struggle with course content, attendance, or are underperforming and without intervention would be at risk of failing the class.  Students who receive an early warning are connected with individualized support services to help them be successful on our campus.  This program is designed to help students succeed at the University of Michigan - Dearborn!
