NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

Administrative procedures resulting in automatic drops or
setback are not authorized. If an ARB is convened for test
failure, the student will be remediated and retested on
failed material prior to the convening of an ARB.
Possible ARB decisions include:
Continue with Class (CWC) - allows a continuation of
training in the present class with or without
remediation:
• A CWC recommendation requires that the test
records and the interview show clear evidence
that the student can pass the course if allowed
to continue.
• The ARB should decide if remediation is necessary
for the student to continue and set the
remediation requirement.
• The remediation requirement should identify
specific areas of study and indicate the time the
student is to stay in the remediation program.
Set-back allows an extension of training with or
without remediation:
• When the ARB recommends a setback, the records
should indicate the student is motivated to
remain in training. The test scores and
interviews should indicate an ability to achieve
the objectives after repeating the portion of the
training that was failed. Students will be set
back only over the material they have failed.
Exceptions will be noted in the Testing Plan.
• If remediation can be achieved in any way other
than setback, it shall be considered first.
Drop from training - results in a recommendation for
disposition.
• When recommending a drop from training, the
student must demonstrate unwillingness or an
inability to continue the training.
• Attention should be given to the student's desire
and eligibility for reclassification when the
board makes the decision to recommend drop from
training.
