The purpose of this presentation is to describe a method for identifying students at risk of earning a D, F, or withdrawing from a course by placing them into a Risk Category (Low Risk, Moderate Risk, or High Risk) based on a pre-assessment. Once a student has been categorized, intervention can begin for those that need it, based on their level of need. I will discuss which on-campus resources are most effective for each Risk Category and how faculty can begin intervention within the first week of classes. Evidence shows that using this intervention technique can increase student success and create a more confident and happy student.
