​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Early Alert Program is designed to assist students who may be experiencing academic or personal difficulties and provide strategies and campus resources to help them succeed at College of the Sequoias.  Faculty participate on a voluntary basis.​​

Early Alert has been proven to increase student retention and persistence rates at institutions of higher learning nationwide. Early Alert will empower students to make more informed decisions pertaining to their education by encouraging them to seek services from on-campus entities to improve their overall academic performance. Students will be able to view their progress reports via Banner Web and receive a message to their COS e-mail account informing them of the Early Alert notice.
