SOS Referral
Submitting an SOS Referral is a way for faculty and staff to notify the Center for Academic Enrichment (CAE) when students are experiencing academic or personal difficulties. The referral will then be triaged and sent to appropriate departments creating a 'circle of care' for the student.
While the SOS Referral system is a retention strategy, it is required that professors only use this tool when all other means of contacting the student has been unsuccessful.
Some reasons to file an SOS Referral include when a student:
- Frequently does not attend class
- Lacks engagement
- Earns a low grade and tutoring is recommended
CAE staff will review each SOS Referral to identify the best student supports, connect with the student, and refer to those various areas. These SOS Referral create a circle of care around every student which includes: success coaches, academic advisors, athletic coaches, music ensemble conductors, and professors. In addition, they will receive a notification when a student receives an SOS Referral, so they may assist and provide support.
