Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Rehabilitative Sciences (PSRS)—Department of Physical Therapy 2025–2026 361 On-Campus Component All postprofessional courses are designed in distance learning formats. Each student holds the responsibility to fulfill all class requirements, access recommended resources, and meet the appropriate deadlines for assignment submission and exams. Students are required to access and participate in their web-based class as defined by the course instructor. Policies regarding participation on discussion boards are usually defined in the course syllabus. Attendance at the on-campus component for classes that require it, is mandatory. Students who do not attend the on-campus component will receive an incomplete for the class until the on-campus requirements have been met (in the subsequent semester in which the class is offered). Students can assume that all on-campus classes are scheduled from 9:00 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. unless otherwise indicated by the course instructor. Return flights should be scheduled no earlier than 6:00 p.m. on the last day of any course. Course instructors may assign an incomplete to students who do not complete a full day of scheduled on-campus classes. Academic Advising and Administrative Support Each student is required to contact the program director for academic advising before beginning the program. The program director and her or his designee will advise the student during matriculation through the program. Students may communicate with the director via phone, email, or in person. In some instances, students can select courses from another program. Approval by the program director must be received prior to registration for courses taken outside the primary area of study.
