Review of Student Progress
|
Evaluation is an ongoing process that begins with admission to the program and continues through a final comprehensive review. Your interpersonal and intrapersonal functioning periodically are reviewed and evaluated. Mere accumulation of credits and satisfactory grades are not a guarantee of successful program completion. You will also be evaluated on your levels of personal insight, judgment, sensitivity, ethical behavior, attitude, and other qualities that are essential to becoming an effective professional counselor or student affairs professional. Although we stress confidentiality of students’ evaluation throughout the program, there are limitations. For instance, the faculty cannot control information students share with other students in a practicum or group experience. However, whenever possible, we attempt to stress confidentiality among students, and require it in faculty meetings.
The Counseling and Human Resource Development faculty takes a serious view of the professional obligation of mentoring students, providing assistance, and supporting their professional development and ultimate graduation. In certain instances, a student’s ability to function at the level expected is called into question. When this occurs, faculty members act in accordance with the standards of the profession. Specifically, if a CHRD faculty member thinks that a particular student needs remedial help, he/she will attempt to develop an informal plan with the student to address the problem. If either the student or faculty member thinks that the plan is not helpful and/or has not taken care of the concern, the particular situation will either be brought to the attention of the department head, or discussed during the student review conference. This information is privileged communication and will be kept confidential among the regular and adjunct faculty. It may happen that a formal remedial plan is created at which time the Dean of the Graduate School will be informed. The student-review conference and remediation policy are explained on the pages with links below. |
