Note:  Students who are entering the APPE (4th year) of the PharmD program will be subject to the following policies:  

  1. Students who are not actively enrolled into an APPE block and will not be academically engaged for ore than 45 calendar days will be withdrawn unless they apply for an Administrative Leave of Absence.  All applicable Leave of Absence policies will apply.  Students should review the Leave of Absence section of the University catalog for more details.  
  2. Students who will not be actively enrolled into an APPE block and will not be academically engaged for up to 45 days will be withdrawn unless they resubmit a Letter of Intent to Return form to the campus financial aid department.  The Letter of Intent to Return form must be received prior to the last date of attendance in the immediately preceding term.  
Some APPE blocks may be split amongst two semesters using two separate course codes.  In these instances, students will be awarded the full course credit for the longer of the two courses.  The short APPE course will receive the identical grade, however, no credits will be earned for this course.  In the event that two APPE blocks are equal in length, the credit will be awarded to the second block, chronologically.
