Grade Consultations & Academic Alert System

Grade Consultations

  • Students can check their grades any time on their own by accessing their individual student portal.  
  • Students may also request a conference at any time with a faculty member or the Nursing Academic Advisor for the purpose of discussing grades or performance. 
  • Midterm conferences will be conducted for those students who are at risk of failing classroom, lab or clinical portions of the program.  Remediation steps may be assigned. 
  • Students will also be made aware of their final grade and, if they have a failing grade, they will meet with the Program Coordinator and/or the Director of Nursing to discuss their options. 

Academic Alert System

When instructors notice a pattern of academic, personal or mental health concerns with a student, they should complete the Academic Alert System Form available on the Faculty & Staff webpage LINK below under Forms.

The completed form will be automatically be sent to and alert the Nursing Academic Advisor that the student needs immediate support. The Advisor will work with the instructor and the student to assist in the situation.
