Remediation through Center for Academic Excellence (CAS)

AUHS and the School of Nursing have a formal remediation program, which is established to help at-risk students be successful in the program. If a student has less than B (< 80%) 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 which outlines student’s areas of need and recommendations for improvement.
