How to connect your student to our office:

Issue An Alert
The advising center encourages CECI faculty to voluntarily refer a student who may be struggling with attendance or other academic concerns. You can do so by Issuing an Alert through EAB - Navigate. Detailed instructions are available one the EAB - Navigate homepage: www.gvsu.edu/navigate under "Resources".
If a student is experiencing a more urgent or personal concern, including but not limited to: concerns for well-being, financial or basic needs, physical and mental health, and disruptive/disturbing behavior, please use the Student of Concern CARE Report, managed by the Dean of Students Office. The CARE Team (Coordination, Assistance, Response, and Education) is a team of staff who support all students through challenges they may experience during their time at GVSU. Please complete a CARE Referral if you are a student in need of support, know a student who needs support, or are generally concerned about a student.
IF YOUR CONCERN INVOLVES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RISK TO SELF OR OTHERS, PLEASE STOP AND CALL 911.
