Faculty and staff can issue an Ad Hoc Alert at any point throughout the year. The purpose of an Ad Hoc Alert is to raise awareness about a particular student. Issuing an Ad Hoc Alert can draw attention to the student, create a virtual referral, and prompt action from a specific person/department.

Note: Ad hoc alerts are NOT designed for immediate crisis intervention. An immediate crisis should be reported to university police or law enforcement (911). Additionally, Red Folder resources are available for faculty/staff who are responding to students in distress.
