Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Physical Therapy 2024–2025 233 During clinical experiences, students are to follow the NSU Dress Code Policy unless otherwise directed by the clinical site. Clinical sites may require students to purchase particular polo shirts or scrubs. More information about professional dress during clinical experiences is provided in the Clinical Education Manual. Students who have special needs related to religion, culture, or a medical condition may request an exception to the Dress Code Policy in writing to the program director. That exception is accepted throughout the length of the program or throughout the length of the medical condition. On-Campus Institutes for Professional D.P.T. Students The Professional D.P.T.—Tampa Bay Program is a blend of online and face-to-face classes. Weekend institutes are four days per month, and the focus of these institutes is on application of learning and psychomotor (physical) skills. Based on this program design, attendance to weekend institutes is mandatory. All missed face-to-face time must be made up at the discretion of the course instructor(s), regardless of whether the absence is excused or nonexcused. The following differentiates an excused from a nonexcused absence. • Excused: Missed class because of natural disaster/emergency such as hurricanes, transportation delay outside control of the student, death in immediate family, severe acute or contagious illness, or other absence, in accordance with university policy. Students with an excused absence will be allowed to make up assignments/exams. The decision for an excused absence rests with the program director. • Nonexcused: If a student is absent for any other reason than those listed above, the student will have to make up the time (see above). In addition, the student will not be able to make up any graded assignments or exams that occurred during the on-campus institute and will receive a 0 for that assignment or examination. Scheduling of Remediation Examinations After Course Failures Students who are eligible for cumulative remediation examinations must abide by the PCHCS remediation policies. Remediation examinations must be taken within five business days after the course ends unless a justifiable exception necessitates adjustment to that timeline. Students requesting an exception to this policy must submit the request in writing to the program director. For practical remediation examinations, students will have to take the remediation practical examination at the Tampa Bay Campus and bear any associated costs associated with returning to the Tampa Bay Campus. For written remediation examinations, students may take the examination online in a proctored environment. Course, Instructor, Guest Instructor, and Lab Assistant Evaluations All students are required to complete the instructor and course evaluations for all courses, as well as guest instructor and lab assistant evaluations, using the online course evaluation system. Failure to complete these evaluations may result in a notice of unprofessional behavior. Students are expected to provide constructive feedback in a professional manner.
