If a student does not successfully perform the Terminal/Recheck Evaluation on the second attempt or before the end of the semester, what is the consequence?

• A. The student is dismissed immediately
• B. The student must retake next year
• C. The student will be placed on probation
• D. Existing grades on the procedure will be averaged and the student will be dismissed

Answer: (D)

The key idea is how a student’s outcome is determined when the Terminal/Recheck Evaluation isn’t passed by the second attempt or by semester’s end. When that happens, the procedure grades earned so far are averaged, and the student is dismissed. Averaging keeps a record of prior attempts and shows the overall performance on that procedure, while dismissal ends the student’s progression because the required competency was not demonstrated. This combination emphasizes patient safety and program standards: you don’t advance if you haven’t shown the necessary proficiency, but the history of attempts isn’t erased. Other options like immediate dismissal, probation, or retaking the year don’t align with this policy.
