Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Rehabilitative Sciences (PSRS)—Department of Occupational Therapy 2025–2026 340 Academic Promotions and Progression The progress of each student through the curriculum requires continuous satisfactory academic performance. Any student failing a course or failing to exhibit satisfactory professional behavior will be referred to the CSP. A course may be repeated only once. Two course failures will result in program dismissal. See information regarding the CSP in the Academic Standing section of this handbook. Grading Policies and Procedures Grading for postprofessional doctor of occupational therapy students (Dr.O.T. or Ph.D.) is based on an alpha scale as shown below. Some courses may be Pass/Fail. Doctoral students must maintain an overall grade point average of 3.0. Ph.D. and Dr.O.T. students must pass all coursework with a B (80 percent) or higher. Alpha Grade A B F Percent 90–100 80–89 (A grade of B/80 percent or above is required to pass in all courses) 0–79 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 are 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 residency requirements. A change from an incomplete to an earned grade must occur prior to the end of the agreement of the contract period, or the student’s grade will be converted to an F. The time limit for changing the incomplete grade to the final grade may not exceed one calendar year or graduation, whichever comes first. The taking of incompletes is strongly discouraged and requires written approval of the course instructor. The course instructor’s written approval will specify the time frame during which the course requirements must be completed.
