Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Physical Therapy 2024–2025 229 Grading Policies and Procedure Grading for physical therapy doctoral students is based on a scale of 0–100 percent. Some courses may be Pass/Fail. P or Pass 75 percent or above F or Fail below 75 percent Grading for all physical therapy courses is based on an alpha scale as shown.

A final course grade of less than C in any given course will constitute a course failure. Students who are eligible will take a comprehensive remediation exam for the failed course and complete the remediation examination at a time approved by the program director or before the next scheduled clinical placement. Following a successful remediation exam, the final grade for that course will be recorded as C(E) to indicate that the course was passed via remediation. Students who fail a course and/or the remediation examination will be sent to the CSP and may be dismissed. While matriculating through the D.P.T. program, each student is permitted to remediate two didactic courses. Since a student who receives a final course grade of F in any course is not allowed to progress to the succeeding semester, the student must successfully remediate the first course failure to be granted the opportunity to remediate a second course failure. A student will be allowed to sit for only one remediation examination per course. Students who fail a clinical experience may be given one opportunity to retake the experience at a time and place determined by the Director of Clinical Education (DCE). Students who fail a clinical
