have seven members. Membership will include three Health Science program students that are not in the
program of the person grieving the clinical grade, and three faculty (with one being a counselor acting in the role
of advisor) who are members of the Health Science Appeals Committee. The committee will strive for a cross-
section of health program members; avoiding any conflict of interest through program assignment or student
familiarity.
All grade disputes must follow the above schedule, although time frames can be modified with the
approval of the Vice President of Student Services or his/her designee.
If a student (complainant) cancels a scheduled hearing, they will have only one additional opportunity for
the Faculty-Student Committee to hear his/her grievance. Any cancellation by the student (complainant)
must be made seven days prior to the scheduled date.
Any personal conflict between student and faculty member must be reconciled through the Learning
Division (student must see their Dean or Associate Dean).
