Academic StandardsStudents in all departmental programs must earn a grade of C or better in required major area courses to receive program credit. (Major area courses are 1) all professional courses, 2) math/science courses in the core area and 3) area IV courses in programs where applicable. Additionally, certain moral, ethical and behavioral standards are expected of students aspiring to careers in health science. The department therefore requires compliance with policies and procedures which govern conduct both as a student in the university and as a student in a professional program. These regulations are considered academic standards within the scope of clinical practicum courses in the curriculum. Specific policies and procedures are given to the student upon matriculation. The student who receives a D or F in clinical practicum may be denied permission to continue in subsequent clinical practicum. The department promotions committee will review the student's performance and will make an appropriate recommendation. Graduation RequirementsEach program has an identified curriculum which must be successfully completed, which includes a designated number of clinical experience hours, as well as competency assessments. Specific data is given to each student upon enrollment. Due to the dynamic nature of these technological services, periodic revision of curricula is performed. In the event necessary curricular/graduation requirement changes are applied to enrolled students, such changes will be made known to the students. It is then the responsibility of each student to meet the specified requirements. In such circumstances every effort will be made to minimize possible negative impact on a student's curricular plans, especially as pertains to anticipated time of program completion. |
