to the critical clinical behaviors for each course.<br /><br />A student who faculty deems is unprepared or unsafe will be required to leave the clinical setting and enter into a remediation plan until they are deemed prepared to return to the clinical setting.<br /><br />The student may be removed for a short duration or the rest of the semester. A student not able to

return and to complete the critical clinical behaviors before the end of the semester will receive a fail for the clinical course.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The grade of "Incomplete" is awarded according to guidelines set forth in Policy 5.1.9.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">For courses in which theory and clinical are combined, clinical laboratory performance is rated on a Pass/Fail basis. A rating of "Fail" in clinical laboratory performance results in a "D" in the course unless the theory grade is an "F." If the clinical laboratory performance is "Pass" the grade awarded for the course will be based upon the theory grade.</li>

<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">For courses with only a clinical component, clinical laboratory performance is rated on a Pass/Fail basis. A rating of “Pass” in clinical performance results in a “P” in the course. A rating of “Fail” in clinical laboratory performance results in an “F” in the course.</li>

<td>Incomplete. (Grade average is not affected until the incomplete has been removed. Students have one semester to remove the Incomplete grade or the “I” reverts to an “F.” Refer to current Student Policy Manual for additional guidelines regarding incomplete grades.)</td>
