Evaluation Procedures
DNP student performance is reviewed on a quarterly and on an annual basis as described below. Student-faculty conferences may be initiated by the student or by a faculty member at any time.

Quarterly Reviews
Quarterly reviews are conducted by:

1. the School of Nursing Graduate School Coordinator, the Associate Dean for Academic Services, who:

• receives a quarterly Low Scholarship Report from the UW Graduate School of students with a cumulative or quarterly G.P.A. less than 3.00;

• seeks input from the faculty advisor, the supervisory committee chair, and/or departmental graduate faculty members regarding students listed as well as any students whose progress may be of concern;

• based on faculty assessments, may recommend the following actions in writing to the Graduate School: no action, warn, probation, final probation, or drop. If a change of status has been recommended, the Graduate School notifies the student in writing. A letter may also be sent by the Associate Dean to the student's advisor or supervisory committee chair when a change of status has been recommended.

2. the faculty advisor, the supervisory committee chair, and/or departmental faculty, who:

• assess student readiness to progress in the program, make progress notes in the student file, and may hold conferences with the student to discuss their progress as outlined in Academic Services Memorandum No. 2;

• at the request of the Associate Dean for Academic Services, review the academic records of any DNP student to determine if the student is meeting requirements and making satisfactory progress in the program, noting recommendations in the student file, as well as to the Associate Dean for Academic Services and the DNP Coordinating Committee chair as needed.

Annual Reviews
Annual reviews are conducted in Autumn or Winter Quarter each year by the School of Nursing Graduate School Coordinator, the Associate Dean for Academic Services, in concert with the student’s faculty advisor or supervisory committee chair. Students are notified in writing of the outcome of the annual review, which may include recommendations for action by the student and/or the student's supervisory committee.

Appeals
When a change of status has been recommended (warn, probation, final probation, or drop) by the Associate Dean for Academic Services to the Graduate School, a student may appeal following the procedure outlined in Graduate School Memorandum No. 16.
