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

Grading Scale:
Exit-Final Summative Exam
Students must successfully complete an Exit-Final, summative examination. Results of this examination are independent and irrespective of prior, individual course performances…an all-or-nothing type situation.

As such, students WILL NOT advance to the National Registry as potential testing candidates (CoAEMSP standard IV.A.1). More details are provided in the EMSP Advanced Student Handbook provided in class. See your instructor immediately for questions and/or clarifications.
Attendance is CRITICAL to your success in this class. Each class session contributes towards your course grade; which, due to the nature of this course, is HEAVILY weighted towards attendance and participation.
