REMEDIATION POLICY AND PROCEDURE {A3.14c}
Remediation is the process of addressing deficiencies in a student’s knowledge and skills, so that the deficiencies are corrected. Remediation is NOT Retesting to improve a grade. The purpose of remediation is to identify areas of student weakness, assist the student in overcoming those weaknesses, and provide an opportunity for the student to demonstrate achievement in the area(s) of identified weakness. Course Directors may initiate remediation measures at any time when an area of weakness is identified in a student.
Early Intervention
An At-Risk score is defined as an assessment (exam, practicum, or OSCE) score between 70 – 75%.
If a student received 1 at-risk score in a single semester, regardless of the course average, they must have a growth coaching session with their advisor. They can also submit a self-assessment worksheet to their advisor within 3 business days.
Academic Remediation Cycle
If the student receives an assessment score below 70%, they are required to meet with their advisor, the Director of Student Success, AND submit the self-assessment worksheet within 3 business days of the grade being released.
The student must get the remediation plan approved by the faculty advisor and the Student Progress Committee. The student must then fully execute the remediation plan.
A student can have no more than 6 remediation attempts in a single semester. If there are more than 6 remediation attempts, the student will be referred to the SPC.
The student cannot fail a remediation assessment (Cumulative Final Exam); otherwise, they will be referred to the SPC for possible dismissal.
If a student fails the End of Didactic or Summative Assessment (Clinical), they will be referred to the SPC.
Academic Warning
Academic warning is defined as a current course grade below 75% and/or 2 assessment failures (below 70%)
The student will be referred to the Student of Concern Committee and the Student Progress Committee to be placed on Academic Warning.
If a student on Academic Warning earns a subsequent score below 70% on any assessment, they will be referred to the SPC for possible Academic Probation.
Academic Probation
Academic Probation is defined as a cumulative GPA below 3.0. Any student on Academic Probation who earns a subsequent score below a 70% on any assessment will be referred to the SPC for possible dismissal.
*Any student on Academic Probation during the didactic phase may be allowed to progress in a single semester with less than a 3.0 GPA at the discretion of the Student Progress Committee. If the student does not raise their cumulative GPA to a 3.0 within one semester, then they will be dismissed.
