Emails sent by Molly Watkins, Dean of Undergraduate Advising, to faculty teaching and advising undergraduate students will be posted online here for continued reference throughout the semester.
To All Faculty Teaching Fall 2025 Undergraduate Courses:
As we move into the fourth week of classes, we hope that you and your students are settling into the rhythm of the semester. Hopefully, most students are doing well in your classes, but if you have any concerns about students and their success, we have multiple ways that you can reach out for support.
Early Alerts
Later this week, we will reach out to faculty teaching first-year students with instructions on how to submit “early alerts.” These “early alert” responses from faculty will allow four-year advisors to reach out to students experiencing difficulties early in the semester and help them get back on track before it is too late to be successful. I encourage you to respond and share any concerns about our new students so that we can be supportive.
Care Referrals
Students, parents, faculty, staff and other community members can identify students that may need additional support by submitting an online Care Referral. The Dean of Students Office will review the CARE Referral and work with our University partners to provide direct support and referral coordination. The Dean of Students Office (DoS) provides holistic, non-clinical consultations and resources to help students access additional support and overcome challenges. Please contact DoS should you need assistance or guidance in providing resources to students.
Academic Integrity
We know that our students are working hard to be successful in your classes, and we hope the students are doing well. We also know that sometimes you might have concerns about academic integrity, which we take very seriously. Undergraduate Advising Support serves as the point of contact if faculty have academic integrity concerns, collaborating with the Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards to support both faculty and students. Please review the academic integrity policy and reporting procedures as outlined in the General Bulletin, and do not hesitate to reach out to academicintegrity-report@case.edu if you have any questions.
Four-Year Advisors
Faculty can always reach out to four-year advisors with concerns as well. If you don’t know who a student’s four-year advisor is, you can email ugadvisingsupport@case.edu or call 216.368.2928. We will connect you with the appropriate person.
We hope these resources help as you look for ways to support our students. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Molly J. Watkins, Ph.D.
