Remediation Plan
The SLP faculty review all Master's Degree students' clinical and academic progress at a faculty meeting after midterm of Fall and Spring semesters. A list of all students' names is presented at the meeting. Any faculty member with a concern and documented communication with the student has an opportunity to voice the concern(s). In addition, faculty have the option of raising concerns at any faculty meeting and/or directly to the SLP Graduate Governance Committee about a student at any point during the semester, provided they have documented prior communication with the student. Action regarding the concern(s) will be made in accordance with the following:
- Take no further action;
- Continue individual faculty-student meetings/communication;
- Delay the decision for action and re-review at stated time; or
- Instruct the SLP Graduate Governance Committee to write a letter to the student indicating the concern(s), objectives, date of expected progress, and consequence(s) if progress is not made.
- Instruct SECD Graduate Chair to contact the Office of Graduate Studies about termination of the student's program.
Any faculty with concerns that arise during the summer session should report directly to the SLP Graduate Governance Committee to determine the appropriate course of action.
Termination Conditions
If a student, during the course of his/her graduate program, receives more than two (2) grades below B, two (2) grades of XP, or has a cumulative GPA below 3.0, the graduate program may be terminated. This includes clinical practicum SLPA 897. The SLP Graduate Governance Committee will make the final decision regarding the student's status in the degree program and notify the student, the academic adviser and SECD Chair of Graduate Faculty in writing.
A master's degree student is expected to complete all degree requirements within five years of their first term of admission to the master's degree program, unless the student is enrolled in a program with a different time limit that has been approved by the Office of Graduate Studies. Graduate courses taken prior to the start of the master's degree program and not counted toward a previously awarded graduate degree may be included on the student's Memorandum of Courses, provided the previous courses were taken within 10 years at the time of degree completion.
