Parent/Family Early Alert Program
The Parent/Family Early Alert Program allows coordination between the Center for Student Success' support team and families of University of New Haven students in an effort to be proactive, supportive, and actively involved in the success of our students. Parents and/or families can use this early alert form to report any concerning or red flag comments, behaviors or incidents involving the University of New Haven students.
Submitted reports are sent via email to the Director for the Centers for Academic Success and Advising. Students will be contacted by our offices and referred to appropriate resources as necessary (Center for Learning Resources, Counseling Center, Financial Aid, Dean of Students Office, Office of Residential Life, Campus Access Services, etc.) They will provide follow up on the report as needed.
Submit an Early Alert for Your Student
If this is an emergency or there is an immediate need for intervention/assistance call 911 or University Police at (203) 932-7070. University Police will contact necessary support staff if it is after business hours.
