These include study skills and exam preparation strategies, time management, note-taking, reading and vocabulary development, and task management activities related to academic success. Counseling in academic success behaviors is provided on an individual and small group basis. Students may be referred to Academic Counseling services by faculty, administrators or Admissions personnel, or they may seek the services of a counselor on their own. Tutorials are offered in subject content and skill development for virtually all courses offered in any Palmer College program. The majority of regularly scheduled tutorials, however, tend to be for courses in the basic science curriculum of the D.C. program.
Most tutorial sessions meet at least once a week.
Tutors may also elect to provide focused reviews of content just before examinations. Students who suspect they may have a disability are encouraged to meet with the OSLD Coordinator to discuss their situation and to explore available options. The College has adopted grievance procedures which incorporate due process standards to provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of student complaints alleging discrimination on the basis of disability. In accordance with federal mandates contained within the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the College maintains academic records on all students who attended Palmer College of Chiropractic and its predecessor, Palmer School of Chiropractic. This law requires a written institutional policy maintaining confidentiality of student academic records must be established and that a statement of adopted procedures covering the privacy and rights of students must be made available.
