Referrals

Purpose: Referrals are used to refer/send a Student to a Center for additional assistance with one or more Staff members.

In order for this section to be available your Center Admins must have created a Referral Form.

How to Access: Class Attendance > Referrals

In Accudemia administrators can create Referral Templates with specific questions, those templates can later be used to create a referral case with a student due to multiple reasons, it can be for repeated absences, low grades, and more.


Creating New Referral Template

Start by logging into your Accudemia website (https://myschool.accudemia.net replacing “myschool” with your domain). Now navigate to Administration > Advanced > Referral Templates from the main menu.

The System Administrator can create a New Referral Template that will be used by college faculty to issue alerts/warnings. This is a web-based form that can be accessed online by Instructors or Staff.

To access the full guide of how to create a new Referral Template you can click on the following link: Referral Templates.

Faculty using Referral Form

Once the form is created, it can be accessed by Instructors or Staff online to issue the early warning to the Centers so they can follow-up and help the student. The Instructor or Staff member will fill-out the form and click the “Save Changes” button to send it. Then these two actions are performed:

  1. An email messages the Follow-up person and copies all staff included in the setup of the Referral Template with the warning information you designed in the form.
  2. The Referral will be added to the Referral Dashboard to be monitored, tracked, and followed upon by the Center staff.
