110 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences 2018–2019 3. A student may remediate no more than two courses during his or her enrollment in the respective program. 4. Prior to a remediation examination, a student who fails a course may be asked to meet with his /her faculty adviser or designee to devise an appropriate remediation plan. 5. If a student is successful on course remediation, the highest grade achievable will be the minimum passing grade for that course, and an E will be notated after the remediated grade [e.g., C ( E ) or 75 E ], on the student’s transcript except in circumstances as notated in number seven. 6. A student who fails a course remediation will receive a failing grade for the course. The transcript should reflect the preremediated or the remediated course grade, whichever is higher. The program policies related to course failures will then be applied. 7. In courses with distinctly separate written and practical grade components, a student who fails that course may, at the discretion of the program chair/director, be required to remediate both components or only the failed component. If successfully remediated, the student will receive the minimum passing grade for that component as well as the course, rather than the actual grade received on the remediated exam.
