Dr. Pallavi Patel School of Rehabilitative Sciences (PSRS)—Department of Speech-Language Pathology 2025–2026 380 Credits earned from continuing dissertation services do not count toward the minimum credit hour requirement for the SLP.D. degree. At the end of each semester, students who demonstrate progress as part of continuing dissertation services will earn a PR (in progress) grade. Students who do not demonstrate progress will earn an NPR (no progress). Students who earn an NPR grade, as part of continuing dissertation services for more than one semester, will earn an F grade. Students who earn an F grade in continuing dissertation services will be referred to the CSP. The CSP will examine the student’s case and make appropriate recommendations to the department chair and program director. See the procedures for Committee on Student Progress and Student Appeals in the college section of this handbook. Students who earn an F grade in continuing dissertation services may register for the next semester, although they may not be eligible for federal funds. Winter Institute During the second semester of the program, all students are required to attend an on-campus winter institute. The winter institute classes are located at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus in Florida. Dress Code When at any NSU campuses during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., SLP.D. students will follow the dress code identified in the handbook. When participating in the courses during any of the distance learning formats (online chat sessions or hybrid weekend classes), students must maintain a neat and clean appearance befitting scholars attending a professional program. Those students failing to comply may be dismissed from the class. Online Course Access, Canvas, and NSU Email All students are required to log into the SLP.D. program through the SharkLink student portal at least once per week. SLP.D. courses for which a student has registered, both purely online and hybrid weekend classes, will be accessed through the Canvas online learning environment. Students must use their NSU email and password to log on to their courses posted on Canvas. Orientation to the online Canvas learning environment will be provided to students in the first semester, and its online assistance and tutorials are available at any time through the University Office of Innovation and Information Technology and the SharkLink student portal. In addition, it is mandatory that students regularly check their NSU-provided email accounts for important communications from both their course instructors, the program director, and the university in general.
