Advising

To assist with the academic success of UM students, the Falcon Success Center (FSC) offers academic advising support through Early Academic Alert, General Studies advising, and ContinuUM advising.

Early Academic Alert (EAA)

Challenges and concerns arise in and out of the classroom.  Early Academic Alert allows faculty members to submit academic concerns, such as poor class performance or attendance, to the Falcon Success Center.  The FSC then partners with the student’s academic advisor and other campus partners to provide outreach and support for the student.

Calls for EAAs are requested via email from the Provost’s Office on behalf of the FSC at the three-week mark of the semester, the sixth-week mark of the semester, and the ninth-week mark of the semester; however, EAAs can be submitted anytime by completing the following form: EAA/Referral for Faculty.

Advisors can complete the loop of referrals by completing the following form: EAA/Referral Advisor Action.

General Studies Academic Advising

The Falcon Success Center supports students who have not yet declared a major.  Students majoring in General Studies will work with their academic advisor and campus partners to help them discover degree programs that fit their personal, academic and career goals.

ContinuUM Advising

The Falcon Success Center, in collaboration with the Office of Admissions, supports the ContinuUM program.  This program is aimed to serve local two-year college students who wish to transfer to the University of Montevallo.  Pre-transfer academic advising support is available to students participating in the program to assist with the seamless transfer process.
