Retention Alert

What is a Retention Alert?

A retention alert is a notification sent to student support staff that a student needs attention. 教师 and 学生 can submit retention alerts through Triton’s software system, CRM建议. It serves as a retention tool that enhances communication and encourages collaboration between faculty, 学生, and student support staff. If utilized effectively it can improve student engagement, retention, and student success.

Retention Alert Business Process
Retention Alert Process

Best Practices

教师

  • Alerts should be sent while the student still has time to be successful in the course. This is generally prior to week nine of a 16-week semester.
  • Retention alert cases should only be created in CRM建议 not through 黑板上’s Retention Center.
  • Review your alert submission history by logging into CRM建议 > Click Option Wheel > Select Alert History > Select course from course list > Review alert details.
  • Include your class attendance and/or late work policy in the detailed notes section of an alert.

Student Support Staff

  • Student contact should be made within 48 business hours of the case creation.
  • Alerts should have two different types of contacts made (i.e., email and call).
  • Update and close the case when appropriate.
