Academic Progress Policy 

Any students at risk for not meeting the learning standards of a particular course or program may be required to complete a performance review; this would be determined by the instructor. The student’s ongoing status in the course/program will be determined at the end of the review period. The instructors will communicate to the students the learning outcomes and performance criteria required to successfully complete the course/program.

This process is something the college feels will provide students with the means necessary to support them in being successful in their program and in their careers after graduation. This policy is only put into action when there is a serious concern about whether or not the student will be successful in their field of study.

A. The instructor and the Director of the college will review the appropriate course of action.

B. The instructor and Director will arrange to have a meeting to discuss the situation and the student’s progress. A written record of this meeting will be kept in the student's file. If there is an agreement that a performance review should be necessary, that force of action will be taken.

C. The instructor and Director will continually monitor the student’s progress, during the review period. If the student has reached their performance goals on or before the date written on file, the student will be notified in writing that they have completed the review process.

D. If the student did not reach their goal by the date stated on file, the Director will decide another course of action.  If the student’s performance is deemed harmful or a hazard to self or others, the Director will send a request for immediate removal from the program, to the President. The outcome of the review will be made known to any sponsorship agencies involved, from the Director.

E. The outcome of the progress review (letter sent to student) will become part of the student’s permanent record, along with all other review documents, should the student be removed from the program. The student must be informed in writing of all decisions and the appeal process.
