Withdrawal

CHC

Program Initiated Withdrawal (Academic)

A student will be directed to withdraw from the program by the Associate Dean, on the advice of the Promotion Committee.

Withdrawal from the program will be required for any of the following reasons:

  1. According to the College Policy on “Grading and Promotion” (#AC700).
    • they have been unable to complete the academic requirements of the program and the College as outlined in this guide;
    • their performance in the service learning placement has been graded unacceptable;
    • they have one or more grades below 50% / Requirements Met;
    • they have unsuccessfully repeated a course or semester
  2. Academic dishonesty as defined by College Policy (#AC705). Lack of integrity is one of the most serious offenses in a health related profession, whether this takes the form of falsifying answers or results, cheating on tests, etc. It will be interpreted as reflection directly on the character of the individual concerned, and the student will be asked to withdraw.
    • Please note this policy also applies to your clinical/field/service learning placement non-academic requirements, as creating, using or submitting fraudulent, false, or misleading documentation for any form of academic advantage (e.g., admissions requirements, credentials, medical documentation) is a violation of the policy.
  3. Professional misconduct as defined by the Regulated Health Professions Act.

 Students who are required to withdraw MUST complete a “Withdrawal Application” which is available from the Counseling Office or the Student Success Advisor. To discuss what options might be available to them, withdrawn students are encouraged to make an appointment with the Student Success Advisor, or a counselor. Any pre-paid tuition (for the next semester) will be refunded once the Withdrawal Application has been processed.

 

Withdrawal from Placement Courses

If the student demonstrates consistent unsafe or unprofessional behaviour in the placement area or has pre-placement requirements expire, the Associate Dean or designate, on the recommendation of the faculty member, will decide whether the student should continue or be withdrawn from the field placement. The situation can then be studied in order to make a decision in regard to continuation of the student.

 

Student Initiated Withdrawal (Personal)

The Program is concerned that the student who contemplates withdrawal from the Program be provided with all possible assistance. For this reason, the student is recommended to meet with either the Coordinator of the Program, the Student Success Advisor, a counselor/case manager or their Academic Advisor.

  1. Students who officially withdraw from the College will be withdrawn from all courses. The student will be assigned a withdrawn/withdrawal grade, “W”.
  2. Students who do not officially withdraw from the College (before the College deadline) will not be considered withdrawn from courses, and a “Fail” grade will be assigned in each course which the student has not successfully completed.
  3. You may drop any academic course within the first two weeks of the semester without affecting your overall grades. Students must follow proper College process.
  4. Some courses in the program are pre-requisite courses and may only be offered once during a given academic year. Dropping a course may affect your ability to continue into the next semesters. Students dropping a course, or receiving exemptions, are not normally entitled to a reduction of fees.
  5. Students under any sponsorship may need to meet the requirements of the sponsoring body and should first contact the specific Sponsorship Counsellor to discuss withdrawal plans. The Student Success Advisor can assist with this process.
  6. Students who withdraw from courses for health reasons may be required to submit a health clearance certificate to the Program Coordinator from their physician before re-admission to the program of studies.
  7. Students who are choosing to withdraw MUST complete a “Withdrawal Application” which is available from the Counseling Office or the Student Success Advisor. To discuss what options might be available to them, withdrawn students are encouraged to make an appointment with the Student Success Advisor, or a counselor. Any pre-paid tuition and current tuition (minus the non-refundable deposit) will be refunded once the Withdrawal Application has been processed, up to day 10 of the semester. After day 10 of the semester, only pre-paid tuition (for future semesters) will be refunded.

 

Withdrawal from Placement Courses

If the student chooses independently to withdraw from a placement before its completion, he/she will be automatically assigned a “Fail” grade. An “I” is assigned when the student had to leave a placement under extenuating circumstances with supporting documentation, e.g. illness. The graduation date may be delayed.

A student will be directed to withdraw from a placement by the Program Coordinator in clear cases of unethical behaviour, unsafe practices, etc. In all such serious cases, a “Fail” grade will be assigned.
