KPSAHS Policies and Procedures

Attendance

Student attendance for classroom and clinical training activities is essential for the development of highly skilled medical professionals. Learning objectives cannot be met with frequent absences including tardiness. The program reserves the right to impose remedial work on its students, require clinical make-up or reduce academic or clinical grades. Excessive absenteeism or patterns of attendance abuse will result in grade reduction or disciplinary action up to and including termination from a program.

Withdrawals

Any student in good academic standing is permitted a one-time voluntary withdrawal from his/her program. A student in good academic standing is successfully passing each course and does not have an active Student Grade Status and Advisory Notice.

To formally withdraw the student must adhere to the following process:

  • Deliver a written letter of withdrawal to the program director specifying the reason for withdrawal and effective date of the action
  • Meet with the program director to discuss the request.

If a student withdraws without written notification, or fails to follow the KPSAHS process for withdrawal from a program, a failing grade will be assigned for each course in which the student is currently enrolled. If a student withdraws following proper withdrawal protocol a grade of “I” will be assigned for each course in which the student is currently enrolled. Students will not receive a certificate of completion until all program graduation requirements have been met.

Re-admissions

Re-admission is not guaranteed and is dependent upon the availability of didactic and clinical space. If such space is not available, the student will not be allowed to re-enter the program.

A student who withdraws from a program is given one opportunity to apply for re-admission. The student may be re-admitted one year from the time of withdrawal. To be re-admitted, a written request must be delivered to his/her program director 90 days prior to the anticipated date of re-admission. The letter must include a statement of why students will successfully complete the program if he/she are re-admitted.

Students who are re-admitted to any program are subject to completing remedial course work to ensure that Program learning objectives are met. All re-admitted students must return and complete one quarter of clinical education before returning to their program’s didactic courses. The student and program director will sign a written agreement of terms for re-admission. The student will not be re-admitted if he/she fails to complete the agreement requirements by the due date.
