University Dismissal for Graduate Programs

If at the end of the semester on academic and financial aid warning the student fails to meet the minimum CGPA or rate of progress requirements, the student will be dismissed from the University, but may appeal the dismissal.  Other circumstances that warrant dismissal from the University include:

A MS Occupational Therapy student will be dismissed from the program if:

• A grade of "F" is earned in any course.
• Two grades of "C" or below are received.
• A failing grade is received during the 3rd fieldwork.
• After the completion of the first 42 credits, the student has a cumulative grade point average of 3.0.

A MS Health Administration student will be dismissed from the program on the occasion of a second failing course grade.  

Furthermore, a student who is found in violation related to academic and student conduct may be sanctioned with a dismissal, but may appeal the dismissal.

A student who fails to meet the University and/or program-specific catalog and/or handbook policies, including those pertaining to attendance, may be dismissed.
