Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3364 - University of Toledo › Chapter 3364-83 - University of Toledo college of pharmacy › Section 3364-83-08 - College of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences remediation policy

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Remediation philosophy
Remediation is a process which corrects
				an academic deficiency. It helps students achieve academic competency in order
				to allow them to progress academically in a timely manner. Remediation is a
				sequence of events, beyond the standard course curriculum, that are designed to
				bring underperforming students to a level of competency expected of students at
				the conclusion of a course. The process of remediation should provide
				opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate required knowledge,
				skills, and/or attitudes through self-directed learning and purposeful
				interactions with faculty. Student and faculty should both be active
				participants in the remediation process. Remediation is a privilege that is to
				be earned by the student through demonstrated attendance and active
				participation throughout the course. Remediation procedures are not intended to
				correct grades sanctions due to academic dishonesty or
				plagiarism.
(B)
								Policy statement
Each didactic course syllabus in the
				doctor of pharmacy program at the university of Toledo (UT) college of pharmacy
				and pharmaceutical sciences (CPPS) must include a statement (or section) that
				clearly states the remediation policy for the course. This policy should be
				developed, written, and implemented by the course faculty. The course syllabus
				must define opportunities for in-course remediation of the overall course
				grade. The syllabus must also define who qualifies for post-course remediation
				when such an opportunity is available. Opportunities to remediate the
				laboratory component as a whole of laboratory/lecture courses are not
				available.
(1)
									In-course remediation
In-course remediation is defined as
				exams or assignments that are offered to the student during the semester in
				which the course is being taken or up to two weeks after the first Tuesday
				following the end of finals week for the semester for which the class was
				originally taken. It may include opportunities to remediate individual
				assignments and examinations.
(a)
										Remediation of
			 individual assignments and examinations: Opportunities and procedures for
			 remediation of individual assignments and examinations are to be defined in the
			 course syllabus. Although the remediation of individual assignments and exams
			 may limit the grade on the individual assessment, it does not automatically
			 limit the overall course grade.
(b)
										Remediation of
			 the overall course grade: Opportunity for in-course remediation assessments for
			 the overall course grade must be available and outlined in the syllabus for
			 students that earn course grades of C-, D+, D or D-. The in-course remediation
			 policy related to overall course grade must clearly state the:
(i)
											Qualification
			 criteria,
(ii)
											Remediation process,
(iii)
											Remediation
			 grading, and
(iv)
											Maximum remediation attempts.
The final grade for students who
				successfully remediate a course will be no higher than a C. The final course
				grade as a result of the in-course remediation assessment must be available no
				later than two weeks after the first Tuesday following the end of finals week
				for the semester for which the class was originally taken. If the student fails
				the remediation assessment(s), the student may be able to complete a
				post-course remediation, if available, based on their qualifications as defined
				in course policy. If post-course remediation is not available, the student must
				retake the entire course at the next offering if eligible based on academic
				standing. Students with a grade of C or better are not eligible to use
				remediation in an attempt to improve their grade in a
				course.
