progress and successfully complete the course.The plan will be submitted to the
instructor with follow-up discussion as needed.

Students are encouraged to meet with the instructor to help improve academic
performance early on.
Practicum/Clinical

Students whose clinical performance is marginal or does not meet expectations
will be counseled by faculty as issues arise.

Clinical contracts are binding and failure to meet expectations can result in
course failure.
