Remediation
AUHS has a formal remediation program through CAS, which is established to identify those students “at risk” for program progression. Students are referred to remediation formally via the Remediation Referral document called the Learning Enhancement Plan (LEP) which outlines student’s areas of weakness and deficiencies. Students may be identified by a faculty member, faculty, and/or other staff members who may be working with the student. Additionally, enrolled students who demonstrate a need for additional services may self- identify.
The following factors may indicate a student’s need for remediation:
• Self-determined need for supplemental support services.
• Failure to participate in learning activities.
• Performance on a course exam or quiz, as manifest by a test grade of B- or lower (nursing program only).
• Poor mid-term course evaluation.
• Poor clinical performance.
• Failure to adequately demonstrate Level competencies.
• Possession of a cumulative course grade with a grade of B- or lower (nursing program only).
Once identified, the student will be required to create a joint remediation/retention plan with a Faculty member and participate in activities as specified within the approved plan.
Student Learning Enhancement Plan may include, but not be limited to:
• Meetings with a Faculty, frequency as identified in the plan but not less than two instances per plan.
• Attendance in supervised tutoring.
• Monitored completion of skill practice hours in the Labs.
• Verified participation in web accessible tutorials or other available tutoring tools, inclusive of ATI and/or other Total Curriculum Support programs (All Programs).
• Completion and submittal of an academically approved written paper and/or presentation inclusive of research on the deficit subject area.
Once the areas of remediation are completed, the student will have the Student Learning Enhancement Plan signed off by the designated faculty member, as appropriate. Any additional cost associated with the plan will be incurred and satisfied by the student prior to proceeding to the next quarter.
