Good Academic Standing
High academic performance is expected in required courses. Students will be considered in good standing unless placed on academic probation. An annual cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 is required to be eligible to continue in the program. A grade of C or higher in the required courses is required to be eligible to continue in the program. The faculty reserves the right to request the withdrawal of a student whose conduct, health, or performance demonstrates lack of fitness for continuance in a health profession. Any such student not voluntarily withdrawing will be dismissed from the University.
Academic Probation
Academic probation is assigned to any student who receives a quarterly grade point average below 2.5, or whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.5. Students placed on probation have one quarter in which to regain good standing. Failure to do so may result in dismissal from the University.
Clinical Work
A student may not be paid as an employee during clinical credit hours. Also, a student may not count any paid work as an employee for clinical credit hours in the program. Blood Borne Pathogen and Communicable Disease Policy
If a student is exposed to a blood-borne pathogen or communicable disease he/she should report to the emergency room for care.
