Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Rehabilitative Sciences (PSRS)—Department of Occupational Therapy 2025–2026 347 President’s List and Dean’s List The O.T.D. program—Tampa Bay follows the policies of the college for recognizing outstanding student performance and academic excellence while enrolled in and upon graduation from the program. Remediation/Retake Policy, if Applicable There is no remediation in the O.T.D. Program. Students will be permitted to participate in the first FWE-II, or OTD 8391, offered during the summer semester, only after successful completion of all required academic coursework prior to OTD 8391. Students who fail this first FWE-II rotation may or may not be offered the opportunity to retake the failed OTD 8391 immediately, which is during the fall semester. Upon the successful retake of the failed fieldwork rotation, the student will not be able to begin their coursework until the following fall semester with the next O.T.D. cohort. Therefore, the student will not be enrolled in the winter and summer semesters, but will be able to reenroll with the next cohort in the fall semester. The same requirement to immediately retake failed rotation for the second FWE-II and Doctoral Capstone Experience will be enforced. Students may retake only one FWE-II. Should students fail a second FWE-II (which includes failing the same FWE-II twice), they will be considered to have failed two FWE-II and will be dismissed from the O.T.D. program. The Doctoral Capstone Experience may be retaken once. Additional tuition will be charged for repeated courses, including Level II fieldwork and Doctoral Capstone experiences. The maximum final grade O.T.D. students may earn on any didactic course after any remediation will be 75 percent. The maximum final grade in Level II fieldwork experiences is a pass (P), as numerical scores are not assigned in those courses. Participation in the Virtual Learning Environment of the Blended (Hybrid) O.T.D. Program—Tampa Bay The student is responsible for keeping track of information posted in Canvas, the university’s learning management system (LMS), which includes, but is not limited to, the postings in the O.T.D. Student Center, contents of the course syllabi, items posted in Canvas Collaborate, course messaging, online examinations, the Respondus Lockdown Browser, etc. The program expects students to use effective time management and appropriate use of electronic communication and social media if necessary. Participation During On-Campus Institutes O.T.D. students are required to be present and participate during all scheduled (four to five) face-toface institutes occurring every three or four weeks, strategically scheduled to have sessions occurring at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester. Unavoidable changes in the schedule will be communicated in a timely fashion. The institutes focus on application of learning and psychomotor skills, followed by active reflection and group/individual processing. Therefore, students are expected to have prepared according to individual faculty member instructions before coming to the institute. A maximum of one missed institute is allowed, at the discretion of the program director. A make up for missed face-to-face institutes may be available at the discretion of the course faculty member. Absence from on-campus institutes is either excused or unexcused. Absence is excused when it is due to a fortuitous event, such as a natural disaster or emergency (e.g., hurricanes, transportation
