VCOM Policy and Procedure

Policy #S019

• The Provost may specify a later date for the determination should further investigation be required. • The Provost may request a meeting with the student if warranted. • The Provost may deny the appeal, grant the appeal, or may modify the decision, which may include requiring further sanctions or requirements for the student, including but not limited to a learning contract. • The student must attend all classes or required clinical rotations and take any scheduled examinations, including remediation examinations, during the appeal. • The Provost’s decision is final. While the student is awaiting the Promotion Board’s recommendation, Campus Dean’s decision, or Provost’s decision, the student must attend scheduled class(s)/rotation(s) and must take exams, including remediation exams. • Exam/course grades will be released to the student during this time so that they can monitor their progress and prepare appropriately for subsequent exams; however, grades will not be recorded unless the student is granted the ability to continue in the academic program and may not be used for consideration in the current appeal. • Numeric grades of remediation exams will not be released to the student, but the student will be notified whether they pass or fail; this includes students who are in the appeal process. 7. REQUEST FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS AND / OR THE NEED FOR ACCOMMODATIONS Students may not request special consideration for a current exam/course/rotation failure or prior exam/course/rotation failure for a condition that was diagnosed or brought to the college’s attention after the failures have occurred. Considerations may not be retro-active; therefore, considerations for a diagnosed condition will only be considered for future coursework and require the student to be found eligible for Section 504 accommodations through the VCOM Section 504 Committee. Students who are approved by the Campus Dean or Provost to continue in the curriculum and who believe that they are in need of Section 504 accommodations or those who are referred by the Promotion Board to seek accommodations should contact the Center for Institutional, Faculty, and Student Success to learn more about the Section 504 eligibility process. 8. DURATION OF POLICY The VCOM Student Promotion Board Policy and Procedures is effective as of the date above and will remain effective until amended or terminated by the President, with approval by the Board of Directors.
