It operates through Navigate and is most often used as an early alert system but also serves as a central place for advisors to compile and track advisor\/advisee notes, an appointment scheduling system, and a data analysis platform. WCS can be accessed through a student or faculty\/staff Portal page and appears as a blue button in the top right hand corner: \"Wolf\n\nWe use this system to better provide students with transformative, personalized support.\n\nFor students:<\/u>\n\nStudents can schedule appointments through WCS for the following offices:<\/strong>\n\nStudent Success and Advising (SSA)\n\nSelect Faculty Advising\n\nMulticultural Student Services and Programs (MSSP)\n\nOffice of International Education and Development (OIED)\n\nFinancial Aid\n\nStudent Enrichment Program (SEP)\n\nTeacher Prep Student Support Services (TPSSS)\n\nInternational Student Academic Support (ISAS)\n\nGeneral Education (for discussion with the Gen Ed Director)\n\nSSA Tutoring Center (Virtual\/Zoom only currently)\n\nInternational English Tutoring Center\n\nFor advising appointments:<\/strong>\n

    4. Follow the next steps to confirm a time for the appointment and a tutor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nFor faculty and staff:<\/u>\n\nEarly alert system <\/strong>\n\nWCS is a tool to assist faculty and staff in proactively identifying and referring students to Student Success and Advising (SSA) who may be experiencing academic difficulty. Referring students early in the term (by opening a case on a student, for example) provides the opportunity for students to identify challenges and address them prior to the end of the term. This process also can help students engage with various areas of academic support on campus and offers the opportunity for faculty and staff to provide transformative, personalized support. Using this system is not meant to be punitive to students; instead, it is a way for faculty to express their concern of a student\u2019s progress, advisors to provide support and resources to students, and a way for students to engage with campus.\n\nIssuing an Alert\/Opening a Case<\/strong>\n\nFor the purpose of referring students, Issue an Alert and Open a Case are the same process. To issue an alert, log into the Portal and select the blue WCS icon in the top right hand corner. Either select a student in your course, one of your advisees, or select the \u201cIssue Alert\u201d button in the top right hand corner in the \u201cActions\u201d box. Then, select a reason for your concern (ex. Not attending class, failed test\/quiz), and provide any additional notes. Academic Success Advisors, Educational Advisors, and MSSP advisors will use these notes as they respond to these alerts and address the concerns with students. Those who issue alerts have the opportunity to add additional notes to cases as well as view advisor notes on open and closed cases. When the concern has been addressed or if a student does not respond to outreach over the course of a term, cases will be closed. For more information on this process, please contact Keegan Gormally, Interim Assistant Director of Student Success at gormallyk@wou.edu<\/a> or ext 88083.\n\nIf you are concerned about a student\u2019s physical or mental wellbeing, please use the Student of Concern report, found in the Portal under \u201cMy Programs\u201d. This will ensure that the student is getting the appropriate care needed for this concern.","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-899","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/506"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=899"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24786,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/899\/revisions\/24786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/advising\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
