Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Health Sciences (PSHS)—Department of Health Science 2025–2026 271 A cumulative GPA of a minimum of 3.0 is required for graduation for the M.H.Sc. program. Students completing the coursework for graduation, but not achieving the required minimum GPA for graduation will be required to enroll in additional coursework at additional costs to bring their cumulative GPA up to the minimum requirement for graduation. If you are receiving financial aid, you need to contact FAAR at (954) 262-3380 or toll free at 800-806-3680 to obtain their advice on how your decision to continue beyond your degree requirement may or may not affect your financial aid eligibility. Retake Policy If a required course is failed, the student must repeat the course at its next regularly scheduled offering. Additional tuition will be charged for repeated courses. A student who has experienced two or more course failures while in the M.H.Sc. program may be dismissed from the program. Any course failed on first taking will be considered a course failure. Passing a course through retake does not negate the original failure for purposes of retention in the program. Credit Transfer Students matriculated in the M.H.Sc. program may petition for transfer of credits to the program. Up to, but not to exceed, six credit hours of graduate work (of a grade B or higher) may be considered for transfer from a regionally accredited institution. The courses considered for transfer must meet the goals and objectives of the M.H.Sc. courses in question, and cannot have been previously applied toward another awarded degree in or outside of NSU. Continuous Enrollment The M.H.Sc. program requires students to enroll in at least one course per semester for the duration of their studies. If a student needs to take a semester off during the academic year, a formal request for an administrative leave shall be submitted in accordance with the university’s administrative leave policy. Students must contact the M.H.Sc. program office 30 days prior to returning from leave. Continuing Services The program is designed to be completed in three years. Continuing services fees will be imposed after 36 months in the program. All students must finish the program within five years of the date of acceptance or they will be dismissed. After the 36th month in the program, students will be enrolled in the continuing services at extra cost to the students.
