Policy

  1. Course objectives/outcomes/competencies shall be the basis for evaluating student achievement.

  3. The students shall have access to their theory grade in the course at midterm and at final in didactic and combined courses.
  4. Minimum evaluation of clinical achievement should include written feedback at the end of each clinical week, at mid-term, and at the conclusion of the course for courses that contain a clinical component.
  5. Students may request an evaluation of progress at any time for the purpose of additional guidance.
  6. Students shall have access to their own evaluations and records located in Student services. Students may request and receive copies of any information in their own records located in student services to which they have not waived access. The cost of the photocopying shall be borne by the student. When students review original personal records in Student Services, an office associate, student services coordinator, or faculty member must be present.
  7. Regular clinical progress and clinical evaluation records may be disposed of following a student’s successful completion of the NCLEX-RN or one year after graduation, whichever occurs first.

For electronic Clinical Performance Evaluation Tools, students will at a minimum acknowledge in writing in the comment box after each clinical week, at midterm and at finals that they have reviewed the evaluation.
  4. All grades must be completed and submitted to Academic Records by the final day of the semester.
