2.12.3 Eligibility Requirements
(a) Academic Requirement:
GPA must be at least 3.50 by the completion of the spring semester in year one. Please note that some of the practicum sites for the concentration may require GPAs that are different from this, and students would need to meet these minimums in order to be considered for these practicum sites.
(b) Clinical excellence requirements:
1. Any student who has received a "pass with concerns" or "fail" on any section of their spring semester SLLC evaluation is not eligible for application to a concentration.
2. Students must earn a 3.25 or higher on the spring semester year one Foundational Skills: Clinical Excellence Across Contexts section of the SLLC evaluation Clinical Practicum Competency Checklist.
(c) Appeal Process: If a student experiences an isolated extracurricular extenuating circumstance (e.g. family emergency, medical absence) during the Spring Semester that they feel has prevented them from meeting the academic or clinical excellence requirements above, they may request an appeal to the Concentration Committee for their application to be considered. Such an appeal will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.
