Unsatisfactory Performance

A student who is unsuccessful in a clinical education course should refer to  the Graduate catalog sections on Physical Therapy academic warning/dismissal for appropriate policies. The student should work closely with the DCE/ADCE and PT program chair to design and implement a plan to address performance issues.

 A grade of U (unsatisfactory) will be given when:

1. Student performance is below minimum level of acceptable performance.
2. CI comments with examples support low performance quality.
3. CI comments articulate deficient performance regardless of the marking.
4. The student has not met criteria established in an Action Plan.
5. The site documents safety concerns regarding patient care.
6. The site asks the student to terminate the placement before the expected end date of the course due to performance deficits.
7. The student fails to submit all required paperwork to the DCE/ADCE.
