Texas Chiropractic College, located in Pasadena, Texas, is the nation's fourth-oldest chiropractic college. Texas Chiropractic College justifiably claims to have been one of the nation's best chiropractic schools for well more than a century. It is one of only two national schools focusing solely on chiropractic education. Eighty-five percent of its graduates pass the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners exam within six months. Texas Chiropractic College prepares its graduates to enter a dynamic, growing, and rewarding chiropractic medicine practice as part of patient care teams alongside doctors, nurse practitioners, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and other health professionals. Don't let professionalism, progression, or other issues discourage you from completing your Texas Chiropractic College degree program. Instead, get the qualified and experienced attorney advisor representation you need for your best resolution of those issues.
Texas Chiropractic College Student Issues
Students in any professional program naturally face challenges in acquiring the substantial knowledge base and refined clinical skills necessary to qualify for licensure and enter professional practice. Chiropractic student issues can be like the issues students face in other medical, dental, nursing, therapy, and counseling programs. The biggest issues chiropractic students face tend to be around professionalism, adjusting to the norms, customs, and practices of the chiropractic profession, and academic progression, making the grades at the level and on the timetable Texas Chiropractic College requires. While chiropractic students may also face academic, behavioral, or even Title IX sexual harassment charges more common in undergraduate programs, their relative maturity leaves professionalism and progression as their most common issues, addressed below. Retain national education attorney advisor Joseph D. Lento and the Lento Law Firm Team for your experienced and effective representation at Texas Chiropractic College, no matter the specific issue threatening your chiropractic education, degree, and practice.
Texas Chiropractic College Professionalism Standards
Texas Chiropractic College's Catalog and Handbook imposes, as a part of its Student Code of Conduct, these professionalism expectations: "Students are expected to maintain themselves, at all times, in a manner befitting a professional institution. The educational process at Texas Chiropractic College is designed not only to teach the technical skills necessary for successful practice but also to develop the professional image and attitude of a healthcare provider." The code then lists a wide range of behaviors that could bring unprofessionalism disciplinary charges. Those behaviors include weapons, drugs, alcohol, theft, trespass, violence, and similar prohibitions common to undergraduate student conduct codes. But they also include misconduct peculiar to the chiropractic setting, such as misrepresenting oneself as a chiropractic doctor before licensure, administering chiropractic adjustments or other chiropractic services outside the classroom or clinic setting, constituting practice without a license, performing unsupervised adjustments, failing to follow a supervisor's instructions, and any other action unbecoming a chiropractic doctor or violating college rules.
Addressing Texas Chiropractic College Professionalism Issues
Don't give up or get unduly discouraged if you face Texas Chiropractic College's unprofessionalism charges. The Student Code of Conduct within the college's Catalog and Handbook provides elaborate protective procedures that your retained attorney advisor can help you invoke for your best outcome. Those procedures include written notice of the charges, informal resolution opportunities, formal hearings, and appeals. Retain attorney advisor Lento to help exonerate you and mitigate potential sanctions with your own account, witnesses, documentation, and evidence. Even if you have exhausted all procedures, attorney advisor Lento may be able to help you gain alternative special relief through Texas Chiropractic College oversight officials.
Texas Chiropractic College Academic Standards
Texas Chiropractic College's Catalog and Handbook states the minimum academic requirements students must meet for federal financial aid, state grants, and other financial awards. Federal satisfactory academic progress (SAP) regulations require schools receiving federal funding to maintain qualitative and quantitative standards. Texas Chiropractic College thus requires that you earn at least a 1.50-grade point average in your first term, reach a cumulative 1.75 in your second term, and maintain a cumulative 2.00 by your third term and beyond. You must also complete two-thirds of the course credits you attempt by the time of your third term and beyond. If you do not meet these SAP standards, Texas Chiropractic College's financial aid office will notify you that you have one more term within which to improve your academic record to meet the standards. Failing to meet SAP standards after that one additional probationary term may result not only in your ineligibility for financial aid but also in your enrollment bar and Texas Chiropractic College dismissal.
Addressing Texas Chiropractic College Progression Issues
Federal SAP regulations permit schools to allow an appeal from SAP probation and suspension of financial aid eligibility when the student's failure to progress is the result of special circumstances like a death in the family or the student's illness or injury. But those regulations do not require schools to permit SAP appeals. Texas Chiropractic College is among the fewer schools that do not permit an SAP appeal. Texas Chiropractic College's Catalog and Handbook instead provides that the student at SAP peril must meet with an academic committee that will impose an academic remediation plan. Texas Chiropractic College's Catalog and Handbook does, however, permit grade appeals. Successful grade appeals and completing incomplete courses could bring your academic record back into SAP compliance. Retain attorney advisor Lento to help you prepare your Texas Chiropractic College grade appeals and effectively address your academic progression issues with the academic committee imposing your remediation plan.
Texas Chiropractic College Student Consequences
Texas Chiropractic College's Catalog and Handbook includes a long list of sanctions and conditions that college officials may impose in the event of your failure to meet professional expectations, failure to progress academically, or other chiropractic student issues. Those sanctions and conditions include everything from repeated course work, repeated examination, additional assignments, additional clinical training, and other remediation to restricted privileges, school suspension, and school expulsion. Discipline of any kind can delay or even prevent your chiropractic licensure. School suspension or expulsion can have other serious collateral consequences. With everything at stake, your best move is to retain a premier attorney advisor.
