Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Health Science 2024–2025 198 Retake Policy If a required course is failed, the student must repeat the course at its next regularly scheduled offering. Additional tuition will be charged for repeated courses. A student who has experienced two or more course failures while in the M.H.Sc. program may be dismissed from the program. Any course failed on first taking will be considered a course failure. Passing a course through retake does not negate the original failure for purposes of retention in the program. Credit Transfer Students matriculated in the M.H.Sc. program may petition for transfer of credits to the program. Up to, but not to exceed, six credit hours of graduate work (of a grade B or higher) may be considered for transfer from a regionally accredited institution. The courses considered for transfer must meet the goals and objectives of the M.H.Sc. courses in question, and cannot have been previously applied toward another awarded degree in or outside of NSU. Continuous Enrollment The M.H.Sc. program requires students to enroll in at least one course per semester for the duration of their studies. If a student needs to take a semester off during the academic year, a formal request for a leave of absence shall be submitted in accordance with the university’s leave of absence policy available at nova.edu/registrar/policies/leave-of-absence-policy.html. Students must contact the M.H.Sc. program office 30 days prior to returning from leave. Continuing Services The program is designed to be completed in three years. Continuing services fees will be imposed after 36 months in the program. All students must finish the program within five years of the date of acceptance or they will be dismissed.
