Tutoring for Success applies to any student whose overall performance in the course falls below 75%. The instructor will create the task in the Student Engagement Portal (Watermark) to direct the student to the appropriate tutoring service, which may be faculty- or SI-led, discipline-specific, and/or general. The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor. Additionally, the task will alert the student’s success team. Students who do not fulfill the assigned tutoring task may be subject to program- and course-specific penalties that could result in a grade reduction and/or in not being allowed to progress in the course until the tutoring requirement has been satisfied.
Students who do not attend class on or prior to the census date will be administratively dropped. Effective Fall, 2016
Students who wish to withdraw from a course must complete all steps indicated on the Academic Withdrawal Request form by the course withdrawal deadline.
NOTE: Students who are attending Texas institutions of higher education, for the first time fall 2007 and later, may not withdraw from more than six courses during their academic career. This withdrawal limitation does not include dual credit or developmental classes (Senate Bill 1231 Rule 4.10.)

Any absence without notification BEFORE the scheduled clinical begins will result in a corrective action for rule violation (i.e. a clinical warning) resulting in point deduction from the overall grade. Please note: corrective action write-up for rule violations and poor performance are placed in the students file and follow them throughout the program.
Students that are not in compliance with the dress code and required supplies to the clinical site are sent home for the day. Students must make-up the absence, and will also receive a corrective action write-up with point deductions.
The clinical schedule will be handed out during Clinical Orientation.
