Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Rehabilitative Sciences (PSRS)—Department of Speech-Language Pathology 2025–2026 377 Students will attend one on-campus winter research institute over the course of their SLP.D. studies. Attendance at the on-campus component for the courses with the winter research institute is mandatory. Students who do not attend the on-campus component will receive an incomplete grade for the course until the on-campus requirements are met at the next semester in which the course is offered. Students can assume that all on-campus classes are scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise indicated by the course instructor. Return flights should be scheduled no earlier than the evening of the last day of the institute course. Course instructors may assign an incomplete grade to students who do not complete a full day of on-campus classes. Continuous Enrollment The SLP.D. program requires students to enroll in at least one course per semester per the duration of their SLP.D. studies. If a student needs to take a semester off during the academic year, an administrative break in enrollment request must be submitted to the program director, which will be subject to approval by the dean. Students must contact the SLP.D. program office 30 days prior to returning from the administrative break in enrollment. Add/Drop Period Students can add or drop courses during the first week of the semester. To add/drop a course, students must contact their advisers to complete the add/drop process. For information regarding add/drop period and tuition refund, see Tuition Credit Policy—Voluntary Drops and Withdrawals, previously located in this handbook. Continuing Services SLP.D. students are allotted seven years from the initial term of enrollment in which to complete all program and degree requirements. Students unable to complete all program and degree requirements within this seven-year time frame will be subject to dismissal. Students who experience unexpected extenuating circumstances that inhibit their ability to complete all program/degree requirements within seven years may request an extension of time of up to one year (maximum). Request must be received prior to the expiration of the seven-year time frame for the program/degree completion, for consideration. Students must be in good academic and financial standing to be eligible for an extension. An additional and final extension of time of up to one year maximum may be requested beyond the initial one-year extension for students who have achieved an approved applied dissertation proposal (required for additional time beyond an initial extension). Requests must be received prior to the expiration of the initial extension for consideration. Students must also be in good academic and financial standing to be eligible for an additional extension. No additional time beyond a second extension is available, and students will be subject to dismissal. Academic Withdrawals Unless prior approval of a leave of absence or administrative break in enrollment has been granted, students who do not enroll in any classes for two consecutive semesters may be administratively withdrawn (WU) from the SLP.D. program. If a student is administratively withdrawn from the program, the student would need to reapply for entrance into the SLP.D. program.
