School of Pharmacy faculty affirm the importance of using programmatic and in-course remedial interventions to provide students with the opportunity to improve and demonstrate their competency of course content such that the students may progress through the curriculum. For the remediation process and outcome to be successful, students are expected to proactively seek help, utilize all available resources, take responsibility for their learning, and fully commit to successfully completing the remediation.
- Remediation Activities
- Within-Course Remedial Interventions are administered during the course to improve student’s knowledge, skills, or application of course material, to avoid a course failure. All students are eligible for and required to complete within-course remedial interventions.
- End-of-Course Remediation: An opportunity for end-of-course remediation will be provided to any student who is at risk of earning a D or F grade in a course if they meet the criteria below and approved by the Student Promotion and Graduation Committee. As part of the Committee’s decision-making process, the course coordinator will be asked to provide a recommendation as to the student’s eligibility.
- Failure to demonstrate competency in any assessment or assignment deemed critical for successfully completing or passing the course
- Participation in and completion of within-course remedial interventions
- Completion of all assigned work within the course
- Earning a pending final grade of a D or F
- Limits to eligibility: Students may not be allowed to take an end-of-course remediation in situations including but not limited to:
- Attempting to use end-of-course remediation when course failure is due to academic dishonesty
- Student conduct violation
- Violation of any other University or School codes, regulations, or policies
- Individual Action Plan (IAP) is developed for a student who is at risk of earning a grad of F in a course as determined by the course coordinator. The IAP addresses and incorporates documented student deficiencies so that the student can successfully remediate the course and progress. IAP is developed by course faculty and approved by the Student Promotion and Graduation Committee.
- Remediation Outcomes
- Students who successfully complete end-of-course remediation will have a grade of C submitted to the Registrar and recorded on the transcript.
- Students who fail end-of-course remediation will have a grade of F submitted to the Registrar and recorded on the transcript. Students will repeat the course as per their progression policies.
