Probation & Dismissal

Probation

You shall be placed on probation if, at the close of any quarter, your grade-point average is less than 2.0 (a C average) computed on the total of all final letter grades, except P or NP, received in courses taken in the School of Pharmacy. If final grades are delayed in transmission to the faculty, disqualification may be postponed for one quarter. If you are placed on probation, you are subject to supervision by the faculty of the School of Pharmacy and your study list and course of study will be determined by the Dean of the Office of Student & Curricular Affairs.

Dismissal

You shall be subject to dismissal if you:

• Fail to maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade point average during three out of four consecutive quarters
• Fail to receive a grade equivalent to C or higher in at least six units of courses during any quarter
• Receive a total of six or more units of grade F or NP in core courses
• Have not completed all requirements for the Doctor of Pharmacy degree within five years of the date you entered as a first-year student, with the exclusion of mandated leaves of absence

At the discretion of the faculty, a student subject to dismissal may be:

• Permitted to remain in attendance,
• Dismissed with stated provisions for returning, or
• Dismissed.

If a grade of NP, Y, or I in a course required for graduation is not removed within the time limitations described, the student is subject to academic probation or dismissal.

With respect to professional disqualification, and in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations of the School of Pharmacy, when the behavior of a student is judged by competent authorities using established procedures, to be detrimental to the interests of the University community, or incompatible or inconsistent with the profession of pharmacy that person is subject to dismissal from the School.
