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.
CNA students must complete all classes, simulation lab, and clinical hours as scheduled in order to complete the course and to be eligible to take the State certification examination. Make-up hours for classes, simulation lab, and clinical hours will be allotted and published in the syllabus. Any student who misses time in excess of the allotted make-up hours will be dismissed from the course. Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed by the Chief Academic Officer.
Dismissal for other than academic reasons may occur without prior warning. The decision to dismiss a student for other than academic reasons is made by the Chief Academic Officer or designee after consultation with referring faculty.
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.
- Failure to maintain patient safety
- 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.
- Acts of verbal or physical aggression/abuse toward another person
- Failure to follow College policies and procedures
