Clinical Support Panel:

 

An instructor/supervisor may engage the Departmental Clinical Support Panel (CSP) for consultation regarding problematic student clinical performance. The purpose of CSP is to provide support to instructors/supervisors and students in: (1) early identification of failing clinical performance; (2) developing plans for student improvement; and, (3) making recommendations regarding program continuance or termination.

 

Mediation:

 

ASC extends an "open door" policy to you regarding any matter, personal, academic or clinical, which you feel requires mediation. There are, however, some minimal steps which must be followed before an approach to the ASC will be recognized:

 

1.      You must make every effort to resolve concerns with the faculty member /supervisor /student/staff member involved, or with the Departmental chair or program director before approaching the ASC. You will be requested to document these efforts;

 

2.      You must approach the ASC with a written statement of your concern and the steps which have already been taken to resolve the concern. Further, this statement should include a presentation of your thoughts on how the concern might be resolved to your satisfaction;

 

3.      An appeal for a grade change must be made within three weeks after the official assignment of the grade by the instructor. After this submission, the process for grade change outlined in faculty senate resolution 978-10-1 adopted 2/25/98 will be followed. A copy of this resolution may be obtained from the ASC chair. A synopsis of the resolution may be found in the University Student Handbook.
