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.

Grievance Procedure for Clinical Issues
If a student has a situation in the clinical setting that they feel needs immediate attention, there is a Clinical Assistant (CA) who makes routine visits to the facilities. The CA is there strictly for students, so feel free to pull them aside and let them know about any situation you may be having. Many times, uncomfortable situations between students and technologists can be contributed to a miscommunication. Our CA can open a line of communication so that clarification can be made between the student and the technologist. The CA will assess the situation and handle it immediately if it is something they feel qualified to address. If it is not, they will notify the Clinical Coordinator, who will decide on the next course of action. The Clinical Coordinator reserves the right to get the Clinical Instructor, supervisor, and/or director of the department involved, depending on the situation. Students will only be removed from a facility for extreme issues. Any encounters that involve this grievance procedure will be documented by the Clinical Coordinator and will be signed by the student. The signed documentation will be place in the student’s file.
If the CA is not available at the exact time you need someone, you may contact the Clinical Coordinator directly (via phone call or text). The Clinical Coordinator will follow up by sending the CA to the facility, calling the facility or going to the facility.
