protocols for safety, hazardous materials, and infection control. Refer to your student policy manual for specific guidelines.
Attendance Policy:
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is imperative to succeed in the program and will be documented for each lecture and lab. If you
are tardy for a lecture or lab, you must gain instructor approval to enter. If you need to leave early, you must notify the course instructor. Any disruption of class by a student regardless of the form of disruption and at the discretion of the instructor may result in dismissal from class and loss of participation points for the day. It is the responsibility of the student to contact both the class instructor and the site proctor by email if you are unable to attend class for any reason. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor or site proctor for any missed assignments. If you are absent on the day of an exam, a grade of “0” will result for that exam unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. A valid excuse is one that is written, dated, and signed by a doctor, lawyer, etc. on office letterhead. Work or regularly scheduled appointments are not deemed acceptable excuses. Children are not permitted in lectures or labs. If your child is a patient in the clinic he/she may not be left unattended while you are in
clinic, lecture, or lab. Cell phones and pagers must be turned off while you are in clinic, lecture, and lab. Any instructor, at their discretion, may take up cell phones at the beginning of class in order avoid an issue with disturbing fellow students and the course instructor. A contact number for the staff associate (Linda Daniel 606-886-7352), (Abigail Fisher 878-
4791) is provided to each student should there be a need to contact a student in the case of an emergency while in lecture or lab. Any abuse of policy may result in a zero.
ABSENCES DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER: In the event of inclement weather, please listen to the local television or radio stations for school closings. If the school is closed, we will follow the school guidelines. If a delayed schedule is announced, we will begin class/lab/clinic at that delayed time. For example, school is delayed until 10:00 am – your first appointment that day will be at 10:00 am. It is your responsibility to call your patients to reschedule. Any days or times missed due to inclement weather will be made up at the end of the semester, if necessary. C. LATE/MAKE-UP WORK POLICY:
Students are expected to take exams when scheduled. In the event that the student is unable to attend, the course instructor must be notified prior to the class time. A student will not be allowed to make-up quizzes. A zero will be given for each missed quiz. If a student is absent on the day when a major examination is given, the student may make-up the missed work as follows:

Version 4 24 07 SG 9/12/2017 7
effect on patients, health personnel, and the community in general. High standards of personal conduct and appearance are expected. Personal problems must never enter the clinic or externship site. The student’s social activities, health problems, etc., must not be discussed with or around the patient, peers, or supervising personnel during the externship rotation. Proper grammar and communication skills are a reflection of the student personally as well as professionally. Speak appropriately and when asking questions, utilize appropriate terminology instead of slang. Personal characteristics are an important part of long-term success in any profession. Be assured that your communication skills, appearance, attitude, and professionalism will be monitored by both the externship site and clinical faculty. If issues arise concerning any aspect of professionalism, conduct, or ethics the student will be removed from the externship site or laboratory session, and expected to meet with the clinical faculty and the course coordinator. The clinical faculty will also meet with the personnel at the clinical externship site.
Professionalism Points
Each student is given professionalism points at the start of lab. Professionalism not only includes attendance but also involves being on time, following appropriate dress codes, having materials and supplies ready in a timely manner, and an overall professional attitude to not only your instructors, but your peers. If you, as a student exhibit an action, comment, or any violation of the lab guidelines, your instructor may deduct points from your professionalism grade and follow the guidelines as posted in the Dental Assisting Policy Manual. A component of this course is team work and leadership skills as this skills are refined utilizing the knowledge from this course should be executed at all times. First write up- meeting with lab instructor, verbal action plan to prevent recurrence Second write up- meeting with lab instructor and course coordinator, written action plan, 5 points off final course average Third write up- meeting with lab instructor, course coordinator and program coordinator, 10 points off final course average Fourth write up- may result in dismissal from program
I. COURSE REMEDIATION POLICY:
The purpose of remediation is to identify, remediate, and counsel those individuals who exhibit characteristics associated with difficulties in the program as early as possible. Remediation is a system of support and is not considered disciplinary action. The faculty making referrals do so in order to ensure that each student can be successful in completing the course/clinical/laboratory work and is ready to enter the profession having assimilated all knowledge, skills and competencies essential for success in the profession. The need for remediation is determined by daily formative assessment that occurs during all courses, clinicals and labs. Faculty and students are involved in remediation plan development and implementation. Remediation may be considered when a student:
Shows a genuine interest for improving
Is responsible and willing to adhere to the remediation plan as developed
Students may be permitted to remediate without alteration to their schedule, providing the
remediation can be accomplished concurrently with the student's course load.
The remediation process can be initiated by the course instructor, laboratory/clinical instructor or requested by
the student. The plan will be personalized to address specific areas identified as areas for improvement. Once
the plan is developed the student must complete all the requirements of the plan as outlined. Failure to follow
and successfully complete the prescribed plan could result in the student’s ability to continue in the program.
Required components of the plan will consist of:
Version 4 24 07 SG 9/12/2017 8
A specific schedule for completion of remediation will be developed by the respective course
instructor. A copy of the remediation plan will be given to the program coordinator, course instructor,
clinical/laboratory faculty and the student. A copy of the plan will be placed in the student's program
file.
Original exam and/or assignment grades will be used to calculate the course grade. Remediation will
not void previous course/clinical/laboratory grades earned.
Examples of components that may be included, but are not limited to, in a remediation plan:
Referrals to the learning center or tutoring center
Referrals to other campus resources that may assist the student in meeting the expectations of the
course/program.
Auditing or repeating coursework.
Extra practice in the clinical/laboratory class
Any other activities deemed necessary based upon instructor recommendations.
J. HIPAA Compliance Situations encountered as part of the clinical externship experience are shared with classmates as part of the learning environment. However, personal information regarding the identity of the patients should never be discussed outside of the Blackboard Discussion setting. For example: Discussing Mrs. Jones halitosis while you are eating lunch with a classmate. All information that you learn as part of the externship rotation should be handled with utmost confidentiality and professionalism. If a situation arises in which you have violated this, the faculty will schedule you for a disciplinary meeting and could result in the consequences listed under the heading Professionalism Policy/ Disciplinary Action. K. WRITTEN WORK POLICY See written assignment rubric L. INCOMPLETE GRADE POLICY A grade of “I”, incomplete, indicates that part of the course work remains unfinished. It shall be given only when there is a reasonable possibility that a passing grade will result from completion of the course work. Assignment of an “I” is at the instructor’s discretion. The instructor will not give an “I” grade when the reason for incompleteness is unsatisfactory. Failure to complete the unfinished work in the time stipulated by the instructor will result in a change of grade from an “I” to an “E”. M.
