STATEMENT OF RIGOR AND PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS

The university when addressing the rigor of graduate coursework states: “Master’s and doctoral courses and programs at Texas A&M-Kingsville are progressively more advanced in academic content and rigor than undergraduate courses and programs. The advanced content and rigor in each graduate course and each graduate program is assured through the Graduate Council (elected and delegate body of the graduate faculty) policies and processes on graduate curriculum approval, periodic graduate program reviews and approval, and the graduate faculty membership approval regarding qualifications of graduate faculty.”

Graduate students are expected to maintain a minimum academic GPA of 3.0 and have no grades of less than a B. Any student receiving a grade of C shall be required to go through all remediation recommended by the faculty. The student with one C will be referred to a faculty committee. Students with more than one C or with an academic GPA below 3.0 will be expelled from the graduate program.

Questions about this policy should be addressed to the Program Director or Graduate Advisor.

STUDENTS FOR GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONContact: Dr. Al Seitel

The purpose of this group is to do a two-week outreach program every year in a developing country. The field of Speech-Language Pathology has grown over the years, but unfortunately, many other countries are still behind. This group focuses on going to a selected site and administering tests, giving lectures and trainings, and other activities related to Communication Disorders in order to educate and broaden both ourselves and these underdeveloped populations that have limited access to education and resources.

PROFESSIONALISM

Professionalism is a word that will be repeatedly heard by each Speech-Language Pathologist beginning with the first semester of clinical practicum and throughout the individual's career. Professionalism is an ATTITUDE -- a state that MUST be developed by each student.

The term professionalism encompasses the Code of Ethics of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association. This code must be read very carefully. It is imperative that it is fully understood and strictly followed. The use of confidential material is particularly important here. All information (records, test results, reports, etc.) on clients is to be regarded as strictly privileged communication. This information must never be discussed openly or for any reason be removed from the clinic. Any student who in any way violates this code may expect a written warning to be followed by dismissal from the practicum class for a second offense.

As a graduate student, you will find that there is a great deal of overlap between your academic and clinical responsibilities and experiences. This being the case, it is important that you exercise the same care and respect in your academic endeavors that you do in your clinical activities. While there is no dress code, or departmental behavior code, each professor does have behavior code and students should keep in mind that classes are held in the same hall as the clinic.

Finally, since you are performing as a professional in this clinic, you will be expected to conduct yourself at all times in a professional manner. Your dress should be appropriate and in good taste. Your communication should be clear, concise and appropriately articulated. You represent this program with each clinical experience and public communicative contact.

Follow these basic rules and you will be well on the way to a deserved title of "Professional." Remember, you have chosen one of the best and most gratifying professions in the world. Value it--and value your part in it.

DEPARTMENTAL STATEMENTS/POLICIES/PROCEDURES

DISABILITY STATEMENTIn accordance with the University policy, if a student has a documented disability and requires accommodations to obtain equal access in clinical practicum, the students should contact the Clinic Director at the beginning of his/her graduate program and the instructor of his/her practicum class/assignment each semester and make this need known. Students with disabilities must verify their eligibility through the Office of Disability Services.

STUDENT BOXESStudent boxes are provided for student clinicians. They are located in the hallway leading to the conference room. These boxes are for distribution of mail, phone messages, notes, notices and returned assignments. The boxes and folders are labeled alphabetically. Please check your boxes every day.

BULLETIN BOARDSNotices of general and specific interest to students are posted on the bulletin boards located in the clinic office area and in front of student boxes. All postings must be approved by clinical staff.

DUPLICATING AND COPYING EQUIPMENTStudents may only use the copying equipment in the faculty work room for clinic work and with permission. The Clinic Secretary may use this equipment for clinic business and/or treatment with the supervisor's permission.

COMPLAINT POLICY

Complainants are expected to file complaints at the appropriate level so that all due process procedures may be followed.

Students should take issues regarding grades and class policies to the course instructor/clinical educator first so that she or he can have the opportunity to rectify the situation or to provide an explanation or rationale. If the student is not satisfied after talking with the course instructor/clinical educator, the student may appeal to the next higher level within the administrative structure. For academic issues that would be the Graduate Program Coordinator, and for clinic issues that would be the Clinic Director. If the student is still not satisfied, the student may appeal to the Department Chair. If the issue continues to be unresolved, the student may file a formal grievance with the department. If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of the grievance process, the student may file a formal grievance with Dean of the College of

Arts and Sciences. Information on the formal grievance policy can be found on the TAMUK website. The Dean and the Provost are final levels of appeal at TAMUK. http://www.tamuk.edu/compliance/grievance.html

A complaint concerning an off-campus externship supervisor should begin with that person. Again, this is to give the externship supervisor the opportunity to rectify the situation or to provide an explanation or rationale. If you still have a concern after the discussion then you should direct your complaint to your Externship Coordinator, and barring satisfaction at that level, to the Graduate Program Coordinator and/or Department Chair of CSDO.

Other non-grade related complaints or suggestions should be directed to the CSDO Program Director.

Refer to the TAMUK Student Handbook for Student Grievance Procedures. http://www.tamuk.edu/dean/dean_files/studenthandbook.pdf

CAA CONTACT

Concerns and questions relative to the academic and clinical training issues of the CSDO’s accredited program should be directed to the Program Chair. Students may also contact the

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA)2200 Research Boulevard,Rockville, MD 20850-3289,Telephone 301-296-5700.

Procedures for Complaints to the CAA Against Graduate Education Programs: A complaint about any accredited program or program in Candidacy status may be submitted by any student, instructional staff member, speech-language pathologist, audiologist, and/or member of the public.

Criteria for Complaints Complaints about programs must: a. be against an accredited educational program or program in candidacy status in audiology or

speech-language pathology and/or audiology, b. relate to the Standards for Accreditation of Entry-Level Graduate Education Programs in

Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (http://www.asha.org/Academic/accreditation/accredmanual/section3.htm ), and

c. Include verification, if the complaint is from a student or faculty/instructional staff member, that the complainant exhausted all pertinent institutional grievance and review mechanisms before submitting a complaint to the CAA.

All complaints must be signed and submitted in writing to the

Chair, Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology,

Students Experiencing Academic Difficulty - Procedures

Step 1.The primary instructor for a given course monitors the academic performance of students within his/her course. When a student's performance drops below the instructor's expectations for a given knowledge or skill, that instructor will meet with the student regarding necessary changes that need to be made and will develop a remediation plan for the student to meet the knowledge or skill and will offer assistance, e.g., specific study techniques, prescribed practice of an activity, additional reading, etc.

Step 2.In cases where the student continues not to meet a given standard or is in need of additional remediation in order to meet a standard or competency, the instructor will bring the concerns to the program director. It is the program director's prerogative to review with the other department faculty the student's overall performance to determine what further remediation may be required and the development of a remediation plan at the departmental level.

Step 3.Based on faculty discussion of the student's difficulties, the student will meet with either the instructor of the course in which the difficulty occurred or with the program director if more than one course is involved in order to implement the departmental remediation plan. Given each situation is unique, guidance will be provided according to the student's needs. This may include additional academic tutoring, referral to student services, referral to the campus writing center, etc. Verification of step 3 will take place during faculty meeting.

Step 4.Students failing to improve even after implementation of Step 3 will be referred to the graduate school according to graduate school academic policies. Failure to maintain a B average in the MS program will place the student on academic probation within the program see graduate catalog for academic grade policies http://www.tamuk.edu/academics/catalog/2013-2015/Graduate%20Catalog%20-%202013-2015%20Final%206_13.pdf page 84. Emails to the graduate school and student will verify step 4.

Step 5.If the student’s midterm grade is a C or lower during the Probationary term, repeat steps 1-3 above with the council of the College of Graduate Studies. If the student earns a grade of C or below at the end of the semester, the student would need to appeal continuance in the program to the Graduate Faculty Review Committee.

Degree Plans and Schedules

The following pages contain clarification of the thesis/research project tracks through the program, the degree plan, the sequence of courses, and the KASA form. Students are expected to update their own KASA forms at the end of each semester and review their KASA forms with the Graduate Coordinator at the time of advising for the upcoming semester. Copies of these documents will be kept in your student folder. You may review this folder at any time by making a request with the office manager.

Thesis Track: This track requires that you enroll in thesis (CSDO 5306) for at least two consecutive semesters. A thesis is a research study approved by a committee of at least three CSDO Graduate Faculty Members. Additional members from outside CSDO may be included when appropriate. In the first semester of thesis preparation, the student is expected to produce and defend a research proposal to a committee selected by the student. Once the committee has approved the study, the student may then proceed with the approved plan. This includes seeking additional approval from TAMUK IRB, cooperating entities, etc. The second semester of thesis preparation is the time in which the student writes the thesis and defends the thesis to the same committee who heard the proposal. Additional semesters may be used to complete thesis after the second completed semester. However, if no progress is demonstrated in any semester subsequent to the second semester, the student is at risk of failing the course.

Research Project Track: This track requires that you enroll in research project (CSDO 5305) for at least one semester and take an additional course: CSDO 5330, Bilingual/Bicultural Issues. Appropriate substitutions for 5330 must be approved by the program. The research project is mentored by a Graduate Faculty Member in CSDO. The student negotiates the size, scope, and type of research with the faculty mentor. It is recommended that the student and mentor set clear guidelines regarding what will be delivered in the completed project. Additional semesters may be used to complete thesis after the first completed semester. However, if no progress is demonstrated in any semester subsequent to the first semester, the student is at risk of failing the course.
