Please refer to the PCHCS section of this student handbook for details. Remediation/Retake Policy, if Applicable There is no remediation in the O.T.D. Program. Students will be permitted to participate in the first FWE-II, or OTD 8391, offered during the summer semester, only after successful completion of all required academic coursework prior to OTD 8391. Students who fail this first FWE-II rotation may or may not be offered the opportunity to retake the failed OTD 8391 immediately, which is during the fall semester. Upon the successful retake of the failed fieldwork rotation, the student will not be able to begin their coursework until the following fall semester with the next O.T.D. cohort. Therefore, the student will not be enrolled in the winter and summer semesters, but will be able to reenroll with the next cohort in the fall semester. The same requirement to immediately retake failed rotation for the second FWE-II and Doctoral Capstone Experience will be enforced. Students may retake only one FWE-II. Should students fail a second FWE-II (which includes failing the same FWE-II twice), they will be considered to have failed two FWE-II and will be dismissed from the O.T.D. program. The Doctoral Capstone Experience may be retaken once. Additional tuition will be charged for repeated courses, including Level II fieldwork and Doctoral Capstone experiences. The
