Two episodes of failure to complete a required course evaluation is considered a breach of minor to moderate concern
This is remediated by an informal meeting with the Vice Dean of Admissions and Student Affairs (or designee) to provide feedback and offer guidance about unprofessional behavior followed by a meeting with the Assistant Dean of Professionalism (or designee). .
Three episodes of failure to complete a required course evaluation is considered a pattern of unprofessional behavior and as such is a breach of serious concern
