We Care: Early Alert System

Your role is crucial as you could be the first person to recognize subtle changes in a student's behavior. As a member of the Trine community, it is important to identify when a student might need help and submit an alert. The message is sent through the Retention Management System and if information is sensitive, can be made confidential so that only the We Care Administrator sees it.

NOTE: We Care Early Alerts are not for emergency situations. If you are concerned about a student's physical or emotional safety, please call Campus Safety at (260) 316-1877.
