5. Student goal tracking – A web-based tool available to all WVC students to plan courses they will take toward their program of study. Students and academic advisers use Student Goal Tracking System (SGT) to share information about student academic planning. SGT may include student program of study, estimated program completion date, needed support, courses, and notes from both students and advisers. http://winesap.wvc.edu/advising/
6. Academic Early Warning System –This system is generates student reports at the end of week 5 of each quarter (the exception being summer quarter where the report is generated at the end of week 3). Only students who show signs of being at risk academically are notified by email and a letter mailed to their home address. The goal is to give students timely feedback so they can improve performance before it is too late. At this point, some WVC faculty use the Academic Early Warning System to generate feedback for students, but others do not.
7. Emergency Text Alerts: Sign up to receive notifications to students, faculty and staff about campus emergencies or unplanned closures. Notifications of emergencies are sent via text alerts on cell phones or other mobile devices. http://www.wvc.edu/events/emergency%20text%20alerts
