In the event of a participant in a course conducted by VCHN College of Health and Nursing where that person has not met the requirements of the course, that participant may be considered for discontinuation.
Discontinuation may occur
- Discontinuation from the course may occur where the participants fail to meet the assessment requirements of the course. Successful achievement of competencies must be achieved for the theoretical component of each course. A subsequent supplementary assessment will be provided for those deemed “not yet competent” on their first attempt. Where successful achievement of competencies using a Clinical Assessment Tool within an appropriate time frame is requirement of the course, this must also be met. Where failure of a supplementary assessment occurs/ or assessment of clinical competencies does not achieve a pass, the participant is able to access the Student Complaints and Appeals Procedure.
- Discontinuation from the course may occur when the students do not abide by the requirements of the Student Code of Behaviour Policy.
- Discontinuation from the course may occur when a participant fails to meet the requirement of 90% attendance in all the courses.
- Each participant’s case will be assessed on an individual basis by the Course Coordinator.
In all cases of discontinuation the students have access to the Student Complaints and Appeal Procedure. |
