Academic Warning for Clinical Based Programs

Criteria for Warning

Didactic

A matriculated student whose grade is below C at the midpoint in any course/co-curricular requirement will be placed on academic warning.

Clinical

A matriculated student not meeting clinical objectives at the midpoint in any course/co-curricular requirement will be placed on academic warning.

At the midpoint of the course/co-curricular requirement, the course instructor will e-mail the assistant dean of student services if a student achieves a grade of C- or lower or does not complete the co-curricular requirement to place the student on academic warning. The assistant dean of student services will place the student on academic warning and will collaborate with the student, the program dean, the academic advisor, and the registrar. A copy of the academic warning will be placed in the student’s file.

A course faculty may recommend to the program administrator that a student be placed on academic warning at any point in the program if there are concerns regarding a student’s academic/clinical performance.

Criteria for Warning Removal

At the end of the course(s)/co-curricular requirement(s), the student’s performance will be evaluated.

Didactic

The registrar will remove the warning status if the student’s grade is C or above in the course/co-curricular requirement.

Clinical

The registrar will remove the warning status if the student’s clinical performance meets the clinical objectives.

Failure to meet these objectives or failure to receive a grade of C or higher in any course/co-curricular requirement will result in the student being placed on academic probation, provided they meet the criteria outlined in the academic probation policy. A student may receive an academic warning more than once.

Note: The criteria for academic probation and student dismissal are outlined in the academic probation and student dismissal policies.
