UNABLE TO ADVANCE
DISMISSAL FROM THE PROGRAM
It is the intent of the University and BSDH Program that each student succeeds in their academic endeavors. Course expectations and requirements are outlined in each syllabus. Core faculty is available to assist students in succeeding in the program. However, a student is unable to advance if the student: • Fails to complete all required coursework within the BSDH curriculum in a logical sequence as required by the Program. • Fails to demonstrate competencies through skill checks and practical examinations • Fails to achieve the required grade point requirements. • Fails to demonstrate ongoing development of professional behaviors and competency in skills performed by a student dental hygienist • Fails to participate in faculty advisement sessions to review advancement towards graduation. • Fails to consistently adhere to safety standards and guidelines in class, Simulation lab, or clinic. • Fails to submit completed required forms indicating satisfactory health status and additional verifications required. • Fails to hold current certifications (CPR, AIDS, TB Tests, etc.) during the Program. • Participates in conduct that violates the policy and procedures and standards of the university, program, or Dental Hygiene profession. • Fails to successfully complete all clinical requirements with a grade of 75 or better. • Fails to provide current health insurance.
The BSDH Program reserves the right to discontinue a student’s enrollment in the BSDH Program if, in the judgment of the BSDH faculty and/or administrators, the student does not possess the professional behavior or competencies necessary for success as a dental hygienist. If this situation occurs and is contested by the student, a committee will be formed consisting of core faculty, an administrator, and a non-biased third party, such as a faculty member from another school within HU unrelated to the BSDH Program. The committee will assess the situation and the student to make a determination accordingly in compliance with HU policy. Additionally, the following are conditions under which dismissal may occur without an advisory hearing: • Failure to maintain the required 2.5 overall session GPA in the BSDH program • Receiving a score less than 75 in a Dental Hygiene Clinic course or receiving a final course grade of D in other BSDH Program courses. • Failure to demonstrate appropriate comp- etency skills in skill checks and practical exams. • Breach of Academic Honesty. • Breach of confidentiality. • Failure to meet Individualized Retention/ Remediation Plan criteria, if developed. • Repeated tardiness and/or frequent absences from class, laboratory, or clinic as per syllabi and institutional guidelines. • Failure to make up missed labs, clinics, or assignments as per course syllabi. • Failure to satisfactorily meet the Performance Criteria as detailed in the Clinical Performance Evaluation Instruments and Competencies. • Failure to comply with requirements and standards as detailed in the University and BSDH Student Handbooks. • Fails to provide current health insurance.
