All students who receive a non-passing grade in any course will be referred for remediation. In addition, instructors may request that a student attend remediation for reasons other than failing a test. The purpose of the remedial plan is to improve the student's chance for successful completion of the Vocational Nurse (VN) program and to strengthen areas of concern/weakness. Students will be required to attend remediation sessions with the instructor and/or complete remediation assignments. Failure to attend or complete remediation by the requested date will result in dismissal from the program. It is the responsibility of the student to adhere to and complete the plan of action in order to remain in the Vocational Nurse program.
Students may be placed on remediation only for a maximum of two (2) courses per module as necessary, and are not to exceed three (3) times throughout the entire duration of the program. Students will be dismissed from the program if a student has completed a total of 3 remediation’s and still obtains a non- passing grade in the 4th course, or if the number of remediation’s exceeds two (2) per module.
The remediation coursework is graded individually. The remediation grade is not calculated into the overall course grade, nor is it considered, “extra credit.” For a student to continue within the program the Plan Of Remediation will have to receive at a minimum a C grade. If the student does not receive a C grade the student will be withdrawn from the program.
Students on remediation will not be eligible for Federal Student Aid. Once the Student successfully completes the remediation and receives a passing grade of C for the course for which they were on remediation, the Student will regain eligibility for Federal Student Aid. If the Student does not successfully complete remediation and receives a failing grade for the course, the Student will be withdrawn.
