8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Upon its review of the institutions interim report received February 28 2014 the Commission voted to continue the Programmatic Bhow Cause directive issued in December 2013 for the Licensed Vocational Nursing program at the Colton campus as well as to continue the enrollment limitations at this campis increasing new LVN enrollment to 120 between the time of receipt of this letter and the August 2014 Commission meeting The Commission further voted to maintain program approval but to continue the to cease new enrollments for the Licensed Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim ~ranch campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meeting These actions were based on the record of long-standing and continuing below benclm1ark placement performance for the LVN program at both locations While the Commission noted some improvement in the rnost recently updated statistics placement rates remain sigriificantly below ACCETs minimum benchmark

The Commission noted that California licensure delays remain a cotitrlhuting factor in the institutions placements rates and recognizes that of those 2012graduates who took and passed the NCLEX examination and received their license 8782 from Colton are working as licensed vocational muses (251 aghicved licensure 21 graduates waived placement assistance 202 are placed) as are 8524 from Anaheim (64 achieved licensure 3 grdUates waived pilcement 52 are placed) which are positive outcomes However the prospects for 203 (January-October) graduates were significantly less promising even among only those who passed the NCLEX exantination 1111d received their license 2254 flmiddotom Colton are working as licensed vocational nmses (l I I achieved licensure 9 graduates waived placement assistance 23 are placed) as are 5098 from Anaheim (53 achieved licensure 2 graduates waived placement 26 are placed) Most telliugly the Commission specifically reviewed the first two cohorts January and ibullebruary of each 2013 LVN 281 ther()by allowing a full 12 months plior to reporting in order for Ikensees to obtain employment and maintain it for 30 dtiys The outcomes demonstrate Jelcmi benchmark placement mtis for U1ose two cohorts as follows Colton full time ~ O placement (8 IicenstJd graduates I 0 JJiaced) and pat time 0 placement (1 licensed graduate I 0 placed) Anaheim full time 5789 placement (19 licensed graduates I 11 placed) and part time

to gain licensure obtain a training-related job and maintain it tor 30 days Despite the institutions initiatives and its progress to date these below-bencbmaimiddotk outcomes suggest that fUI1damental problems continue other than licensure delays beyond the institutions ltontrol which indication contlibuted to the Commissions grave concerns and its serious actions in Tespect to tbeLVNprognttn at these eampuses

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

Upon its review of the institutions interim report received February 28 2014 the Commission voted to continue the Programmatic Bhow Cause directive issued in December 2013 for the Licensed Vocational Nursing program at the Colton campus as well as to continue the enrollment limitations at this campis increasing new LVN enrollment to 120 between the time of receipt of this letter and the August 2014 Commission meeting The Commission further voted to maintain program approval but to continue the to cease new enrollments for the Licensed Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim ~ranch campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meeting These actions were based on the record of long-standing and continuing below benclm1ark placement performance for the LVN program at both locations While the Commission noted some improvement in the rnost recently updated statistics placement rates remain sigriificantly below ACCETs minimum benchmark

Colton 2013 January-October LVN (FT) Placement 732 (123 eligible completers I 9 placed) 20 i2 JantratybullDecltniber LVN (PT) Placemerit 6429 (84 eligible cotPpleters I 54 placed) 2013 January-October LVN (Pr) Placement =909 (77 eligible completers I 7 placed)

The Commission noted that California licensure delays remain a cotitrlhuting factor in the institutions placements rates and recognizes that of those 2012graduates who took and passed the NCLEX examination and received their license 8782 from Colton are working as licensed vocational muses (251 aghicved licensure 21 graduates waived placement assistance 202 are placed) as are 8524 from Anaheim (64 achieved licensure 3 grdUates waived pilcement 52 are placed) which are positive outcomes However the prospects for 203 (January-October) graduates were significantly less promising even among only those who passed the NCLEX exantination 1111d received their license 2254 flmiddotom Colton are working as licensed vocational nmses (l I I achieved licensure 9 graduates waived placement assistance 23 are placed) as are 5098 from Anaheim (53 achieved licensure 2 graduates waived placement 26 are placed) Most telliugly the Commission specifically reviewed the first two cohorts January and ibullebruary of each 2013 LVN 281 ther()by allowing a full 12 months plior to reporting in order for Ikensees to obtain employment and maintain it for 30 dtiys The outcomes demonstrate Jelcmi benchmark placement mtis for U1ose two cohorts as follows Colton full time ~ O placement (8 IicenstJd graduates I 0 JJiaced) and pat time 0 placement (1 licensed graduate I 0 placed) Anaheim full time 5789 placement (19 licensed graduates I 11 placed) and part time

to gain licensure obtain a training-related job and maintain it tor 30 days Despite the institutions initiatives and its progress to date these below-bencbmaimiddotk outcomes suggest that fUI1damental problems continue other than licensure delays beyond the institutions ltontrol which indication contlibuted to the Commissions grave concerns and its serious actions in Tespect to tbeLVNprognttn at these eampuses

Schools shall have clinical facilities adequate as to number type and variety of patients treated to provide clinical experience for all students in the areas specified by Section 2533 There must be available for student assignment an adequate daily census of patients to afford a variety uf clinical experiences consistent with competency-based objectives and theory being taught

The program lacks adequate clinical facilities as to number type and variety of patients treated to provide clinical experience for all students in the areas specified in Section 2533 ofthe Code This information was verified by the consultant All students obtained required clinical experience in Maternal Health and Pediatric Nursing well after presentation of related didactic content Some students obtained the required clinical experience in Maternal Health and Pediatric Nursing after their graduation date Further clinical attendance documents provided during the visit by the Director did not substantiate that all 18 students had completed the required 24 hours of Maternal Health clinical hours and 24 hours of Pediatric clinical hours as specified in the approved curriculum

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

California Code of Regulations section 2530(1) states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

Faculty and Facilities

Section 2534(d) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations states

For supervision of clinical experience there shall be a maximum of 15 students for each instructor

The current number of Board-approved faculty totals twenty nine (29) including the program director The director has 1 DO administrative duties and 0 teaching duties This program has two (2) teacher assistants and one (1) additional faculty Of the total faculty 25 are approved to teach in the clinical area

3

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

The Commission noted that California licensure delays remain a cotitrlhuting factor in the institutions placements rates and recognizes that of those 2012graduates who took and passed the NCLEX examination and received their license 8782 from Colton are working as licensed vocational muses (251 aghicved licensure 21 graduates waived placement assistance 202 are placed) as are 8524 from Anaheim (64 achieved licensure 3 grdUates waived pilcement 52 are placed) which are positive outcomes However the prospects for 203 (January-October) graduates were significantly less promising even among only those who passed the NCLEX exantination 1111d received their license 2254 flmiddotom Colton are working as licensed vocational nmses (l I I achieved licensure 9 graduates waived placement assistance 23 are placed) as are 5098 from Anaheim (53 achieved licensure 2 graduates waived placement 26 are placed) Most telliugly the Commission specifically reviewed the first two cohorts January and ibullebruary of each 2013 LVN 281 ther()by allowing a full 12 months plior to reporting in order for Ikensees to obtain employment and maintain it for 30 dtiys The outcomes demonstrate Jelcmi benchmark placement mtis for U1ose two cohorts as follows Colton full time ~ O placement (8 IicenstJd graduates I 0 JJiaced) and pat time 0 placement (1 licensed graduate I 0 placed) Anaheim full time 5789 placement (19 licensed graduates I 11 placed) and part time

to gain licensure obtain a training-related job and maintain it tor 30 days Despite the institutions initiatives and its progress to date these below-bencbmaimiddotk outcomes suggest that fUI1damental problems continue other than licensure delays beyond the institutions ltontrol which indication contlibuted to the Commissions grave concerns and its serious actions in Tespect to tbeLVNprognttn at these eampuses

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

Faculty and Facilities

3

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

California Code of Regulations section 2530(1) states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

3

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

3

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

California Code of Regulations section 2530(1) states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

California Code of Regulations section 2530(1) states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure examination that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period

This data substantiates the programs non-compliance with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters

Based on the most recent data available (January to March 2017) the programs average anhual pass rate is 13 The California average annual pass rate for graduates from approved vocational nursing programs who took the NCLEX-PNreg for the first time during the same period is 73 The average annual pass rate for the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate

Faculty and Facilities

3

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

The Commission noted that California licensure delays remain a cotitrlhuting factor in the institutions placements rates and recognizes that of those 2012graduates who took and passed the NCLEX examination and received their license 8782 from Colton are working as licensed vocational muses (251 aghicved licensure 21 graduates waived placement assistance 202 are placed) as are 8524 from Anaheim (64 achieved licensure 3 grdUates waived pilcement 52 are placed) which are positive outcomes However the prospects for 203 (January-October) graduates were significantly less promising even among only those who passed the NCLEX exantination 1111d received their license 2254 flmiddotom Colton are working as licensed vocational nmses (l I I achieved licensure 9 graduates waived placement assistance 23 are placed) as are 5098 from Anaheim (53 achieved licensure 2 graduates waived placement 26 are placed) Most telliugly the Commission specifically reviewed the first two cohorts January and ibullebruary of each 2013 LVN 281 ther()by allowing a full 12 months plior to reporting in order for Ikensees to obtain employment and maintain it for 30 dtiys The outcomes demonstrate Jelcmi benchmark placement mtis for U1ose two cohorts as follows Colton full time ~ O placement (8 IicenstJd graduates I 0 JJiaced) and pat time 0 placement (1 licensed graduate I 0 placed) Anaheim full time 5789 placement (19 licensed graduates I 11 placed) and part time

The program has clinical facilities that were adequate as to type and variety of patients treated to enable prior students to meet clinical objectives in accordance with Section 2534(b) of the Vocational Nursing Rules and Regulations Because of no student enrollment at this time the school is not using the clinical sites

Other Considerations

----O~n-A---cugust 29 2013 the Accrediting Commission oUhe Accrediting Council for Continuing Education amp Training (ACCET) sent a letter to Summit College that documented ACCETs decision to continue the Institutions Show Cause directive and to limit admission of students to the vocational nursing program to no more than 25 students per class between August 29 2013 and December 31 2013

In accordance with the ACCET decision in September 2013 at the time of consideration of the programs request for continued program approval the Executive Officer continued program approval but rescinded the programs approval for ongoing admissions Additionally the Executive Officer required the program director to complete an analysis of the program and submit a written report by November 1 2013

At the December 2013 meeting the ACCET Commission originally voted to revoke the accreditation of the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program but subsequently extended the approval until the April 2014 Commission Meeting On December 23 2013 ACCET sent a letter to the school indicating that the program would be allowed to admit students who had signed contracts dated on or before December 13 2013 but would not be allowed to admit any other students until after the commission meets again in April 2014 middot

The April 25 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission voted to maintain program approval but to continue the order to cease new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meetingmiddot The letter further describes that the decisions were made due to below benchmark placement performance for the vocational nursing programs (See Attachment B)

The August 18 2014 ACCET letter to the school states that the Commission maintained the directive to cease all new enrollments for the vocational nursing program at the Anaheim campus pending further review (See Attachment C)

On January 12 2015 the Board received a letter from ACCET noting that at the December 2014 meeting the Commission voted to allow 100 new enrollment agreements for the Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim campus The 100 new enrollment agreements were to be between the Decemb~r 2014 meeting and the next review in April 2015 (See Attachment D

On February 25 2015 the Board received a request to admit students The program requested to admit 45 Full time and 45 Part time students on April 27 2015 This request was deferred

The last class of thirteen (13 students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3 students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

Summit College has informed the Board of Vocational amp Psychiatric Technicians of their intention to relocate the Anaheim vocational nursing program to the Santa Ana Branch campus which is

4

seven (7) miles away (See Attachment E) A projected date to begin classes would be early 2018 pending the schools submission of all required documents to satisfy 2526 Procedure for Approval

Section 2530 (I) of the California Code of Regulations states

The program shall maintain a yearly average minimum pass rate on the licensure exam that does not fall below 10 percentage points of the state average pass rate

~~----for first time candidates-of approved vocational nursing-schools for tlie same middot period

Violation 1 The program has failed to maintain an average annual pass rate that is no more than ten (1 0) percentage points of the state average annual pass rate for first time program candidates for the same period

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

Recommendations

1 Place the Summit Career College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program on provisional approval for a ohe year period from August 25 2017 through August 31 2018 and issue a certificate accordingly

2 Place the program on the May 2018 Board agenda for reconsideration of provisional approval

3 Require the program to complete a total revision of its curriculum in accordance with requirements specified in California Code of Regulations Section 2533 prior to commencement of additional classes

4 Require the program to obtain full Board approval prior to the admission of each class

5 Require the program to provide no less than one (1) instructor for every ten (1 0) students in clinical experiences

5

6 Require the director to submit documentation substantiating that adequate resources ie faculty and facilities etc are available to support each admitted class of students

7 Continue the programs requirement to comply with all approval standards in Article 4 of the Vocational Nursing Practice Act commencing at Business and Professions Code Section 2880 and Article 5 of the California Code of Regulations Title 16 commencing at Section 2526

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Rationale The last class of thirteen (13) students was admitted into this program January 2014 Three (3) students graduated on January 16 2015 No additional students have been admitted into this program

The program has been non-compliant pass rates on the licensing examination during the last ten (10) quarters

Given that the program has ten (10) quarters where the programs yearly average pass rate pn the llclmure -examination has fallen below 10 percentage points of the state average passmiddot rate for first time candidates of approved vocational nursing schools for the same period placement on provisional approval is recommended

Based on published examination statistics the programs average annual pass rates have been noncompliant with regulatory requirements for the previous ten (1 0) quarters Quarter 4 2014 through Quarter 1 2017 [October 1 2014 through March 31 2017] ranging from 13 to 60 percentage points below the state average annual pass rate for the same period

Status of Violation 1 The violation is not corrected

Currently the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is undergoing a complete curriculum revision This curriculum will be implemented when the Summit College Anaheim Vocational Nursing Program is relocated and the initial class is admitted to Summit College Santa Ana

8 Failure to take any ofthese corrective action-s may cause the full Board to revoke the programs pre-approval status In this case the program would not be added to the Boards list of approved programs and students would not be eligible to take the NCLEX-PN licensure examination

Upon its review of the institutions interim report received February 28 2014 the Commission voted to continue the Programmatic Bhow Cause directive issued in December 2013 for the Licensed Vocational Nursing program at the Colton campus as well as to continue the enrollment limitations at this campis increasing new LVN enrollment to 120 between the time of receipt of this letter and the August 2014 Commission meeting The Commission further voted to maintain program approval but to continue the to cease new enrollments for the Licensed Vocational Nursing program at the Anaheim ~ranch campus pending review at the August 2014 Commission meeting These actions were based on the record of long-standing and continuing below benclm1ark placement performance for the LVN program at both locations While the Commission noted some improvement in the rnost recently updated statistics placement rates remain sigriificantly below ACCETs minimum benchmark

to gain licensure obtain a training-related job and maintain it tor 30 days Despite the institutions initiatives and its progress to date these below-bencbmaimiddotk outcomes suggest that fUI1damental problems continue other than licensure delays beyond the institutions ltontrol which indication contlibuted to the Commissions grave concerns and its serious actions in Tespect to tbeLVNprognttn at these eampuses
