How do students get invited to join?
Anyone concerned about a student (faculty, staff, other students, etc.) can identify and refer students who would benefit from the system. Referrals are made using either an online form or notepad. Students may be referred due to concerns about absences, missing homework, difficulties at home, or other issues that might impact student success.
