DEAR CAMPUS:

As we begin a new quarter, we would like to remind you about Shoreline Early Alert (SEA).

SEA is a referral program to serve ALL (domestic and international) students on campus. SEA is designed to provide academic intervention to students encountering difficulty in the pursuit of their academic goals. We recognize that intervention is a process and may not produce immediate results. That is why it is our goal is to reach out to the student early in the quarter and connect them to the appropriate resources.

Examples of SEA referrals include:

Low test scores
Unexplained excessive absenteeism or tardiness
Pacing in an online class
Not doing assignments
Financial matters
External concerns

MAKE A REFERRAL!
Use the SEA Referral Form rather than sending individual emails. A SEA Team member will respond to the referral within 24 hours by reaching out to both you and the student. We continue to reach out to the student in order to set up an initial meeting where we assess the student’s needs and most appropriate resources.

Examples of resources SEA Team members refer students to:

Success Coaching
International Education services
Tutoring Services
Counseling Services
Advising Services
…and much more!

Please view our flyer and visit our site to learn more about SEA or to view our Referral Form.

We look forward to continuing to work with you and to support our students!

Thanks,
SEA Team

Hello from Success Coaching!

It has been great to see so many familiar and new faces on campus this week and we can feel the energy buzz settling in as the start to the quarter is right around the corner!

We’d like to remind you that Success Coaching is available for all students, that includes Fall Quarter! This 2016-2017 year we look forward to continuing to meet with students and support them towards their goals, identify and address barriers, and connect them to resources. Below is a brief description of what we do and more information can be found our webpage. Let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to continuing to partner with you throughout the 2016-2017 school year! *Please note our flyer below for your use.

Faculty have requested a statement about Success Coaching to be provided on their syllabi and we thank you for this opportunity! Please feel free to use the following statement:

Similar to coaching programs used by entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals, Shoreline Community College provides students with Success Coaching to help you develop and grow your academic skills. Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that works with you on study strategies, goal planning, time management, balancing life’s priorities, focus, motivation, and organization. Coaches also help you identify and connect to other resources. Coaching is not counseling, advising, or tutoring.
