Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Physical Therapy 2023–2024 231 If at least a 75 percent is not obtained on both components, this will constitute a course failure, even if the overall course grade is above a 75 percent. If the student does not pass both components with at least a 75 percent, a cumulative remediation written and/or practical examination will be administered. A grade of C (CE) percent will be assigned for courses passed by remediation. Communication with Faculty Members Outside of class, the primary modes of communication with faculty members are email and Canvas. Students are responsible for checking and replying to all faculty member communication through email and Canvas on a regular basis (i.e., at least daily). Failure to do so may result in the student being referred to the CSP for unprofessional behavior. Professional D.P.T. Program—Fort Lauderdale Student Dress Code Students are expected to strictly adhere to dress code standards as established by the program. The official scrub sets for the D.P.T. program are charcoal gray. For labs, students must wear charcoal gray scrub sets or any brand of navy-colored shorts and NSU-approved T-shirts or the class T-shirt (preapproved by the faculty members). Conservative-style sports bras should be used, accordingly, so that the torso can be exposed when needed. The course leader and the lab activities will dictate whether scrubs or shorts and T-shirts are required for lab. Nonskid, closed-toe, supportive shoes with socks are required. If a student has long hair, it must be tied back. Nails should be one-eighth inch or less. Minimal, nondangling jewelry may be worn. Wearing of navy-colored shorts and T-shirts will be limited solely to classroom lab hours and only on the second floor of the HPD Library Building. Students not dressed appropriately for lab may be asked to leave the class and an unexcused absence will be documented in the student’s file. Any time that students are not on the second floor of the HPD Library Building, they must be dressed in charcoal gray scrub sets (matching shirt and pants) or the approved-dress NSU clinic uniform with a lab coat, and nonskid, closed-toe, supportive shoes with socks. The NSU clinic uniform/required professional dress is navy blue NSU polo-shirt and khaki slacks (no capris); nonskid, closed-toe, supportive shoes with socks; lab coat; student I.D.; wristwatch; and minimal, nondangling jewelry. If a student has long hair, it must be tied back. Nails should be one-eighth inch or less. Students are expected to come to all classes and clinical experiences with the requisite lab equipment indicated by the course instructor. Students who are unprepared for class may be asked to leave the class or may receive a deduction in the course grade. Professional D.P.T. Program—Tampa Bay Attendance Attendance is mandatory for all scheduled instructional sessions and curricular activities. Academic Progression A final course grade of at least C (75 percent) constitutes a passing grade. For mixed courses (lecture and lab), students must achieve an average of C for written exams/assignments and an average of C for psychomotor exams/assignments. If one of the two requirements is not met, the student will fail the course, even if the aggregate grade is greater than C. If a student fails both components, it will be counted together as a single course failure.
