CHCS Student Handbook 2019-2020

Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences—Department of Cardiopulmonary Sciences 2019–2020 133 Upon achieving a C or better in a repeated course, an E will be noted after the original grade, and that grade will then be exempt from GPA calculation. The new course grade will be noted on the transcript followed by an I indicating the new grade will be included in the GPA calculation. Additional tuition will be charged for any repeated course. A student who has experienced two or more course failures while in the BSRT Post-Professional Program may be dismissed from the program. Passing a course through retake does not negate the original failure for purposes of retention in the program. Assessment of Prior Experiences for Academic Credit Students matriculating in the BSRT Post-Professional Program will be granted a block grant of 45 credits transferred in as HLSC 1999 Prior Learning in Health Science. Academic Advising and Administrative Support Students will be assigned an academic advisor upon admission into the program. The advisor will advise and assist the student during matriculation and throughout his or her studies in the program. Students may communicate with their advisor via phone or email. Textbooks Specific recommendations can and will be made by the program and individual professors. Students may purchase their books from any convenient source. Add/Drop Students can add or drop courses online up until two weeks before the term is set to start. Any time after that, students must contact the program office. Withdrawal from a Course A request for withdrawal from a course shall be made in writing to the program director. A student can withdraw from a course up to three weeks prior to the end of the term. The student may request withdrawal only if he or she is in good standing. A withdrawal from a course requires approval from the program director. A grade of W (withdrawal) or WP (withdrawal passing) will be recorded. The grade of W or WP will be replaced by an earned grade only if the student retakes the course. Unofficial, late, or poor standing withdrawals may result in a grade of WF (withdrawal failing) or F . Administrative Withdrawals Unless prior approval or a leave of absence has been granted, students who do not enroll in any classes for two consecutive semesters may be administratively withdrawn ( WU ) from the BSRT program. If a student is administratively withdrawn from the program, he or she would be required to petition the program director in writing for reinstatement in the program.
