Free AI At-Risk Student Early Alert Calculator
Enter 7 early-warning signals for any enrolled student — attendance, grade trend, financial hold, LMS inactivity, counselling visits, housing, and employment. AI returns a risk tier (Low / Medium / High / Critical), a signal-weighted risk score, and a personalised intervention checklist with a ready-to-send outreach script.
AI-generated output · Free account required · Results may vary
Based on Tinto's Student Integration Model and Astin's I-E-O retention framework. Advisors select the current status for each of 7 published early-warning signals. The AI weighs each signal by its predictive strength, outputs a 0–100 risk score and a Low / Medium / High / Critical tier, and generates a personalised intervention checklist with owner assignments and a draft outreach script calibrated to the specific signal pattern.
AI-generated content. Review before use — outputs may contain errors or require adjustments for your specific context.

| Low / Medium / High / Critical tier | AI-determined with signal rationale | No consistent tiering | Colour coding possible — not standardised | Available — requires extensive configuration |
| Personalised intervention checklist | Owner-assigned per signal pattern | Generic advice at best | No prescriptive actions | Playbooks — but not signal-personalised |
| Ready-to-send outreach script | Drafted for specific signal combination | Advisor writes from scratch | Not included | Email templates — not personalised to signal pattern |
| Escalation triggers | Conditions that would elevate risk tier | No escalation logic | Not included | Configurable — but requires setup |

What Student Affairs Teams Say
Trusted by lecturers and students across Sri Lankan universities
"We used to wait until week 8 to identify struggling students. This tool lets advisors run a structured risk check in week 3. Our early-intervention rate has doubled this semester."
"The outreach script is the part I didn't expect to be this useful. The AI drafts a message that acknowledges the specific signals — not just a generic 'we noticed you're struggling' email."
"The intervention checklist assigns an owner to each action — advisor, faculty, financial aid, counsellor — which makes the handoff between departments actually happen instead of getting stuck in email."
"I shared this with our provost as a proof of concept for structured early intervention. The risk tier language — Low, Medium, High, Critical — gave us a consistent escalation framework we now use across all 12 advisors."
