The Committee will conduct a
Review of a student’s academic performance.
During the summer session, the Consultation Committee for
academic performance shall be composed of the Chair of the
Social Work Practice Sequence, the Director of Field Work,
the second-year student representative of the Committee, and
the Chair(s) of the sequence(s) in which the student is having
difficulty. In the event that this sequence is Social Work
Practice, the Director of Field Work will substitute as Chair
of the Committee.
A student's academic performance is governed by the grading
system guidelines (see Grading Policy in this manual). The
role of the Consultation Committee is to provide consultation
and recommendations to the parties who have convened the Consultation
Committee. Any Plan A student who receives a first final grade
of Marginal Pass in a required course or a second final grade
of Marginal Pass overall, and any BSW Advanced Standing student
who receives a first final grade of Marginal Pass in any course,
shall come before the Consultation Committee for a Consultation
regarding his or her academic work. The purpose of this meeting
is not to grieve a grade, but to assist the student with learning
issues to which the grade has called attention.
Normally, this Consultation will take place during the summer
session. The instructor for the given course will attend the
meeting, at the discretion of the Chair of the Practice Sequence.
The Consultation Committee will decide who, in addition to
the student and the Associate Dean, should be informed of
its recommendations. The Consultation Committee meeting may
provide sufficient consultation around the learning issues
identified and require no follow-up. The Consultation Committee
may also recommend to the student additional supports outside
of the classroom to assist him or her to master particularly
problematic content areas. The Consultation Committee may
suggest that the student make active use of the Center for
Academic Development. The Consultation Committee may also
decide to refer a student to the Academic and Field Work Performance
Standing Committee for a Review. The Chair of Practice collects
all materials necessary for such a Review.
When a Consultation regarding academic performance must occur
in the fall, the Chair of the Practice Sequence may use a
conference call to hold the consultation. The Chair of the
Practice Sequence will confer with both the Director of Field
Work and, in the case of a second year student, the Chair
of Research, regarding any concerns about the student's performance.
Participants in the conference call will include the student,
Chair of Practice Sequence, Chair of the Sequence, and a student
representative from the Committee. The purpose of the Consultation
is to identify learning issues and resources needed. The conference
call should result in a clear plan for improving performance.
Copies of the plan will be sent to the student and the Associate
Dean.
