This sequence allows the students to experience the research process from conceptualization to dissemination of results, thereby complying not only with the O.T.D. curriculum requirements, but also with the research component of the standards for doctoral-level occupational therapy education of the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE ® ). O.T.D.—Tampa Bay students are responsible for completion of these sequences, including satisfaction of all course requirements for graduation. Likewise, the student is responsible for all expenses related to the research implementation, data analysis, and results dissemination, including, but not limited to, travel costs to conference sites and to the scheduled Annual Research Colloquium at the NSU Tampa Bay Regional Campus. Attendance Attendance is mandatory for all scheduled instructional sessions and curricular activities, while complying with PCHCS policies and as specified in each course syllabus. Submission of Assignments Each course syllabus includes course-specific requirements and submission deadlines. Any assignment submitted after the assignment deadline will be subject to the consequences specified by the course instructor(s) and may affect the assignment grade and/or the final class grade as specified in the course syllabus. Assignment Resubmission The course instructor has the discretion to provide the students with the opportunity to resubmit a failed assignment with revisions as indicated and within the timeline specified by the course instructor. In cases where an assignment resubmission is permitted, the maximum possible score will be 75 percent. Incomplete Coursework Students may receive a grade of I (incomplete) in a course if they are passing the course, based on all completed coursework to date, but is unable to complete all course requirements due to documented medical reasons or extenuating personal circumstances. An incomplete will be changed to an earned grade upon a student’s satisfactory completion of the course or fieldwork requirements. A change from an incomplete to an earned grade must occur prior to the first day of the next academic year, or the student’s grade will be converted to an F. Conference Attendance and Service-Learning Requirements All O.T.D.—Tampa Bay students may be required to attend district, state, and/or national conferences or meetings as determined by the program director or as required in certain courses. Participation in these conferences and meetings requires membership to state and/or national associations or societies, and provides membership benefits, as well as contributes to professional development. Failure to complete these requirements may impact the student’s progression in the program, if not the graduation date.
