The TSTC nursing faculty believe it is valuable for students to remediate on exams to continue further learning and correct any misinformation. The remediation guidelines are designed to help nursing students improve their understanding and performance after a less than satisfactory outcome on an exam or test. This policy outlines the steps students are to take to address their knowledge gaps and enhance their learning.
Dropout Detective in Canvas will be used to document any concerns with grades or student behaviors.
Module Exam Remediation Policy
Eligibility for Remediation: All students are eligible for remediation. However, students achieving 84.9% or lower on unit/module exams are required to complete remediation.
Remediation Process:
Self-Assessment: Students will be required to review content and identify the concepts they struggled with. After completion of a unit/module exam, students requiring remediation are to complete the Self-Assessment of Exam Performance and email to your course instructor within 2 days of the exam.
Students required to complete remediation will utilize ATI Dynamic Quizzing based upon their exam grade. Instructions for setting up dynamic quizzes in ATI can be found here.
The student is required to make a dynamic quiz consisting of a minimum of 30 questions and score 100% on the quiz. Multiple attempts are allowed to reach the required score.
Once the Dynamic Quizzing is completed with the required 100% score, the student will take a screenshot of their score and submit to their instructor for the appropriate assignment within the related Canvas course.
Students required to complete remediation will also need to submit completed ATI Active Learning templates (ALTs) based upon their exam grade. ATI Active Learning Templates are designed to guide students in the learning and review of nursing knowledge. There are eight types of ALTs, including Basic Concept, Diagnostic Procedure, Growth and Development, Medication, Nursing Skill, System Disorder, Therapeutic Procedure, and Concept Analysis. Instructions for ATI Learning templates can be found here.
The chart below details the required number of learning templates that must be completed for remediation. The type of Active Learning Template(s) to be completed will be decided by the course instructor based upon review of the student’s self assessment and included in the Remediation Plan.
EXAM SCORE NUMBER OF ACTIVE LEARNING TEMPLATES
85-100 Optional, but recommended as a study tool
80.0-84.9 1 active learning template
75-79.9 2 active learning templates
<74.9 3 active learning templates
Once completed, the student will submit all ALTs to their instructor for the appropriate assignment within the related Canvas course.
Faculty Meeting: The student must make an appointment within one week of grade notification with the instructor to develop a remediation plan, which will be based on the student's self assessment.
Remediation Plan: A structured plan will be created that outlines the steps the student needs to take to improve their course performance. Students are required to complete the learning activities planned. This plan may include the following activities, in addition to their dynamic quiz and ALT requirements:
Utilizing specific studying techniques (i.e. notecards, care maps, study guides, etc.)
Attending review/tutoring sessions or participating in a study group.
Completing additional readings.
Using online resources or videos. (i.e. ATI, textbook online resources, etc.)
Support Resources: Students also have access to the Student Success Center, and mental health services if test anxiety is a factor.
Time Frame: Remediation activities are to be completed 2 weeks from the original test date and prior to the next scheduled exam.
Accountability and Documentation: Students will be required to submit documentation of completed remediation activities. Faculty may keep records of remediation participation (i.e. Remediation Plan and Outcome, Active Learning Templates, etc.).
Evaluation: Students are strongly encouraged to regularly review and assess the effectiveness of their remediation plan to ensure it meets their needs and supports their success.
Failure to complete the agreed upon remediation plan will result in the student receiving an Informative Student Action Plan. Per the current LVN-RN Transition Program’s policies, if the student receives three (3) Informative SAPs, that shall equal one (1) Disciplinary SAP. Two (2) Disciplinary SAPs shall result in a meeting with the faculty, Program Team Lead, Program Director, and/or Associate Provost. This may result in termination from the Program.

Students required to complete remediation will also need to submit Active Learning Templates completed for each topic below 60%. ATI Active Learning Templates are designed to guide students in the learning and review of nursing knowledge. There are eight types of ALTs, including Basic Concept, Diagnostic Procedure, Growth and Development, Medication, Nursing Skill, System Disorder, Therapeutic Procedure, and Concept Analysis. Instructions for ATI Learning templates can be found here.
Once completed, the student will submit all ALTs to their instructor for the appropriate assignment within the related Canvas course.

LEVEL 3 Students ONLY
Any student who receives less than 85% on any exam will be required to complete remediation for that exam. It is the student’s responsibility to follow each instructor’s remediation assignment and instructions, which outline the specific remediation requirements. HESI information can be found in the HESI remediation policy the student signs specific to each exam, for each course. Remediation for exams will be determined at the instructor’s discretion.

The content in the course itself will be considered the majority of the remediation for the HESI Exit exam. The student will also be required to complete remediation in HESI Next Generation (essential packets and case studies). A version will be given at the start of the semester, another version mid-semester, and yet another version will be given at the end of the semester after the 3-day Live Review.
