Student Progression Hearing ● If the student’s performance in the program is deemed deficient (including, but not limited to, having received more than one C as a course grade, etc.), including circumstances in which either or both levels of student progression monitoring have been unsuccessful in helping the student to remedy the identified deficiencies, the Chair of Progression will refer the case to the Progression Committee, which shall hold a Progression Hearing. ● The hearing will require the a endance of the student in ques on, plus either that student’s academic adviser (if the issue relates to coursework) or the student’s adviser or (FCC) (if the issue relates to the Clinical Practicum), plus the Dean, the Director of the program involved, and Dean of Students. The student may invite any relevant party to the Progression Hearing. ● At least one week in advance of this hearing, the student shall write a response to the referral, outlining the student’s view of the difficulty and provide documentation for these assertions. ● The goal of this hearing will be to present the administra on’s concerns, and determine whether the concerns can be remedied, or, if it deems that no reasonable remedy is possible, whether the student’s enrollment status shall be changed.
