Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences (PCHCS)—Department of Physician Assistant 2024–2025 239 Alpha Grade A AB+ B BC+ C F Scale 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 0.0 Percent 94–100 90–93 87–89 83–86 80–82 77–79 75–76 0–74 A final course grade of less than 75 percent in any course will constitute a course failure. If a student fails a course, a remediation examination will be administered according to the PCHCS remediation policy. Grades on the transcript will be qualified to indicate a repeated course or a remediation examination. When a student passes a course by a remediation examination, a minimum passing grade of C(E) will be recorded as the final grade for the course on the transcript. Additional tuition will be charged for repeated courses. A student who is dismissed on the basis of inadequate academic performance may reapply to the program at a later time. The application will be treated in the same manner as a first-time applicant. Any student who is readmitted to the program will be considered a first-time student for the purposes of coursework and must repeat all required coursework, including courses completed previously. Incomplete Coursework The course director will determine the method by which an incomplete grade will be converted to an earned grade. When a student fails to complete all the requirements of a course or clinical rotation, the student shall receive a grade of I (incomplete). A change from an incomplete to an earned grade must occur within 90 days of having received the incomplete grade or the student’s grade will be converted to an F. Academic Advising Each student is assigned an academic adviser at matriculation. The goal of an academic adviser is to provide students with assistance in attaining the most from their educational experiences; provide academic guidance, direction, and encouragement; monitor overall progress; and identify appropriate resources. Each student in the academic and clinical year should meet with the student’s adviser at least once a semester. Clinical Rotations The clinical year of the program is devoted to hands-on training in clinical rotations. The clinical year consists of nine required rotations: six core rotations and three elective rotations. Students must comply with all policies and procedures of both the clinical sites and NSU. PA students on clinical rotations must maintain a functional cell phone at all times. To facilitate communications, PA students must provide the PA Program with their cell phone number and inform the program of any changes.
