Early intervention encompasses the “systematic method of recording and communicating student behaviors that contribute to student attrition” and “effective intervention at the first indication of academic difficulty” (Tampke, 2013). Intervention initiatives can be:

• Faculty initiated (Progress Reports and Ad Hoc Alerts)
• Campus partner initiated (Scholarship  Risk)
• Advisor initiated (Ensuring Degree Applicable Credits)

Regardless of where and how interventions originate, academic advisors are uniquely suited to provide intrusive and individualized interventions to students in their caseloads and within their colleges and departments. The UAC’s intervention efforts are based on relevant literature and national best practice.
