Student Review Conference
|
In addition to the evaluation that takes place as part of each course, faculty members meet once each semester to discuss the progress of all students currently admitted in the program. As mentioned earlier, if an informal plan has not sufficiently addressed a student’s remedial needs, the student-review conference is used to discuss alternatives to address the issue. The conference is intended to help resolve any problem that might hinder students’ academic success or impede their ability to provide competent counseling services. One objective of the meeting is to determine a formal individualized
written plan of action, if needed, that is satisfactory for the student and for the department.
The nature of the problem and the individualized written plan for addressing the problem (including recommended remedial assistance as needed) are discussed with the student and faculty member. When mutual understanding is reached, the plan is given to the student and placed in the student’s file. In some cases, the student may be asked to take a leave of absence from the program or to terminate involvement with the program. In all formal individualized written plans, the Department Chair and the Dean of the Graduate School are informed, and due process is observed to protect student rights and University responsibilities. In situations where action is deemed necessary, the CHRD remediation
policy will be followed when carrying out the remedial plan. |
