A full-time student can complete the program in seven quarters; all students must complete the program in five years.

Academic Progression
The faculty reserves the right to request the withdrawal of any student whose conduct or performance demonstrates lack of fitness for continuance in a health profession. Students in the pre-professional program are required to earn grades of "B" or better in NTR 505, NTR 506, and a grade of "P" (pass) (equivalent to a grade of "B" or better) in NTR 511, NTR 512, NTR 513, NTR 514, NTR 515 and NTR 516; grades of "C" or better are required in all other courses. Failure to earn minimum grades will result in dismissal from the pre-professional program. Automatic probation for any student results when a student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below 3.0 or when a student receives a grade of "F" in any course. The Committee on Academic Progress and Promotions notifies any student placed on probation, states the reason(s) for probation and the conditions that must be satisfied for removal of probation. A student who earns a grade of "D" or "F" in a course, other than those listed above, must repeat the course and earn at least a "C." A student who earns a grade of "D" or "F" in more than one required course will be dismissed. Full-time students on probation must earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater by the end of the next two consecutive quarters. Part-time students on probation must earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater after completing the next 22 quarter hours. Improvement in the GPA must be shown each quarter of probation.
