'''Finding.''' Per the tracker's evidence, Student P reported that she had to make up a virtual clinical, that the makeup fell the day before final grades were due, and that her professor did not respond to or grade the assignment, which caused her to fail Clinical I by less than three points and be placed on academic probation.

'''Evidence.''' Herzing MSNDE 2026 GroupMe (March 5, 2025), Student P. Source group: Herzing MSNDE 2026 GroupMe.

'''Reported statement.''' Student P states that she failed the class because she had to make up a virtual clinical that fell the day before final grades were due, and that her professor did not respond to or grade her assignment, which caused her to fail by less than three points.

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 4 (timely faculty feedback and fair grading); Handbook page 20 (grade-appeal procedures); institutional duty of fair grading: when work is submitted before the deadline and a faculty member does not grade it before grades are due, a resulting failure is attributable to institutional failure. Lead: {{HU|HU-045}}.

'''Impact.''' The student failed a clinical course, was placed on academic probation, and had to repeat an entire clinical course because a timely submission was not graded before the deadline.
