REMEDIATION
AUHS and the School of Nursing have a formal remediation program, which is established to help at-risk students be successful in the program. The student must be proactive in seeking help when needed. If a student has less than B (< 83%) at any point during the quarter they will be referred to remediation. Students may also be referred to remediation by a faculty member, faculty advisor, and/or the School of Nursing Dean via the Remediation Referral document and online LEP which outlines student’s areas of need and recommendations for improvement. Additionally, enrolled students who experience a need for additional services may self-identify to their instructor or faculty advisor.

Remediation Plan Procedure:

1. Students are notified by the instructor of a grade below a B (< 83%) and/or unsatisfactory clinical performance.
2. The student must make an appointment within one week of grade notification with the instructor to develop a remediation plan. The Learning Enhancement Plan (LEP) will be completed online by the instructor. Should the LEP require the assistance of a faculty with a content area expertise, the instructor will give the student a referral note to be submitted to the content expert faculty and after completion of the tutorial; the faculty will sign the referral note indicating that the tutorial was completed. The signed referral note must be submitted by the student to the class/clinical instructor. Failure to meet with the instructor will result in an Adverse Action Form.
3. The student is expected to identify the reasons why he or she is not earning adequate grades, and to work with the course instructor to plan activities designed to improve grades.
4. Students are required to complete the learning activities planned. Failure to complete the learning activities will result in an Adverse Action Form.
5. For clinical make-up, skills lab remediation or tutorial, the student must schedule an appointment with the instructor or peer tutor. If the student’s grade improves on exams and in the clinical setting, then the remediation plan will be deemed successful, and the student shall continue the remediation activities until the end of the quarter.
6. If the student’s grade and/or clinical performance do not improve, then further discussion with the faculty member shall commence and the remediation plan will be changed as necessary to assist the student to succeed.
7. At the end of the quarter, the student and instructor will describe the outcomes of the remediation with the appropriate documentation.
8. The completed remediation form is submitted to the office of the Dean, with a copy to Student Services.
