The College may dismiss, at any time, a student whose academic standing is not in compliance with the Scholastic Standards Policy. In most cases, students who are dismissed for academic reasons have previously been warned by the course instructor or chief academic officer.
Medical Assisting students must complete all classes, simulation lab, and clinical hours as scheduled to complete the course and be eligible to take the national certification examination. Make-up hours for classes, simulation lab, and clinical hours will be allotted and published for each course. Any student who misses time over the allotted make-up hours will be dismissed from the program. The chief academic officer will review extenuating circumstances.
Dismissal for reasons other than academic may occur without warning. The decision to dismiss a student for reasons other than academic is made by the chief academic officer or designee after consultation with the referring instructor.
The student may appeal the dismissal by following the Student Fair Treatment Policy and Procedure.
Dismissals for other than academic reasons may include:
- Breach of patient confidentiality.
- Concealment of errors made during clinical assignments.
- Performing skills outside of their current role.
- Illicit use, possession, or distribution of drugs or alcohol on campus.
- Possession of weapons on campus.
- Failure to follow College policies and procedures
