Remediation and Formation Committee Comprised of members from the faculty and staff, the Remediation and Formation Committee (RFC) meets on an as-needed basis throughout the year. After receiving a remediation referral, this committee will designated one of its members to function as the "Review Chair" who will be the primary liaison between the RFC and the student for the duration of his/her remediation process. In certain situations, the committee may recommend that a hold be placed on the student's account, preventing him/her from registering, graduating, or otherwise proceeding in their program until after the remediation process has been completed. Remediation and Formation for Non-Academic Matters When referrals are forwarded to the RFC, the Dean of Students will notify the student in question and will work with the RFC to ensure the process is initiated according to the steps outlined in this Handbook. After reviewing the referral, the Remediation Committee will identify the specific area(s) of concern that need to be addressed and draft a remediation plan for the student to complete within a timeframe determined by the committee. The committee may decide that more information is necessary and can elect to interview or consult the student, the referring party, the Dean of Students, or other relevant party before drafting a plan. Once the plan is complete, the designated Review Chair will correspond with the student to ensure there is clarity on what is expected. The student will maintain contact with his/her Review Chair as needed. After the remediation plan completion date, the committee will assess whether or not the plan has been completed: If Completed The Dean of Students will receive a copy of the remediation worksheet to be filed in the student's record. The worksheet documents the details of the process, the content of all conversations between the remediation committee and the student, all remedial actions taken, and any follow-up procedures that were implemented. If Not Completed The committee may grant an extension, require continued remediation, or escalate the matter to a Student Conduct Committee for disciplinary review. Any student who has been referred to remediation but disagrees with that decision or believes it is being handled improperly may file a grievance with the Dean of Students or Vice President of Student Life and Enrollment Management.
