Top of Page Postdoctoral and Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures The department chairman, with the concurrence of the Postdoctoral Curriculum Committee, may alter a candidate's program by the addition of courses as may be warranted. For complete details on academic policies and procedures for a specific academic program, refer to that department's Postdoctoral Program manual. This manual is distributed at the beginning of a student's course of study and is available thereafter from the postdoctoral or graduate department. For those students enrolled in the postdoctoral programs, the department chairman and the Postdoctoral Curriculum Committee consider all matters related to promotion and recommendations related to academic probation, suspension, and dismissal.
Students receive a letter grade for each course.
A grade of D or F indicates unsatisfactory performance. A student may not be promoted or graduated with a grade of D or F. Student promotion requires satisfactory completion of all requirements, both clinical and didactic, and the maintenance of professional ethical standards. Mere absence from classes does not reduce a student's financial obligation or guarantee that a final grade will not be recorded. Students who withdraw must petition the program director for readmission. A leave of absence for personal reasons is allowed for students in good academic standing.
