General Information
Student Assistance Plans are designed to bring the resources of the University
and the student together to address potential problems before they become serious
concerns. Student Assistance Plans are not designed to penalize the students but
rather to improve the candidate's chances for success. A concern can be completed at
any point from initial enrollment through completion of the program. Intervention
strategies range from informal discussion with candidate to repeating a clinical experience.
- Student Assistance Plans - the assistance plan outlines intervention strategies
designed to remediate the problem identified. The assistance plan will also specify
any limitations or prohibitions on the student's ability to enroll in subsequent courses
or internship experience prior to meeting all conditions of the plan. Students must sign
the Assistance Plan indicating agreement. Copies of student assistance plans are
submitted to the Dean's office
- Appeal Procedures - students wishing to refute an oral and/or written notice of
concerns or challenge an assistance plan may submit a written appeal to the
Professional Education Review Board.
