Need some advise. The nursing program I am in requires a 73 test average in addition to a 73 overall average. This semester in one class I ended up with a 71 test average but a 75 overall average and as a result I failed the class this semester.
I filed an appeal and was denied. However after taking with some friends, I realized I might have a chance with requesting a meeting with the Provost.
Here is my argument, I went to the profession after every test for remediation. After my second remediation with my professor, she suggested I go speak with the student services counselor. I reached out to them but they couldn’t see me before the next test and suggested I reach out to local counselors in the area. I called them and never received a call back.
So now, I have a meeting with the provost and want to be fully prepared for my argument that I wasn’t provided services that are required for the school to keep its accreditation.
Does anyone have any experience with talking to the Provost?
Were you meeting with the student services counselor to ask for accommodations such as longer test taking time, having someone read the questions out loud to you, a special note taker for class? Did you have accommodations in high school or for your pre-reqs?
You never answered my questions as cited above. What exactly did you want?. Study skills help? Sounds like you have that in order. Group study? you described you do that.
Please...I am not unsympathetic but I really don't know what you wanted....May be a workup for learning disabilities?
Regarding "accreditation" are you referring to Regional or Programmatic? There is a difference in criteria.
I sound mean but the Provost may ask what did you feel we (your college) did not deliver. Best wishes from me but moving on with out a sound foundation may impact further learning.
