2021 - 2022 COM Student Handbook

Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Graduate Certificate in Health Professions Preparation Program 2021–2022 368 For example, students are responsible for being aware of their grades, the procedures for remediation, and the times and locations of all examinations, regardless of the method in which the information was communicated. All students are required to maintain and access their NSU email account regularly for any official college or university communications that may be sent via email (see section on Specific University Policies and Procedures). All electronic communication between students and faculty members or administrators must be made using only the official NSU email accounts. 10. Tuition Payment Late tuition payments or failure to make arrangements to pay tuition will result in the student being removed from class. For additional information regarding unpaid balances on student accounts, see the information on the NSU website regarding University Bursar and Bursar Holds at nova.edu/bursar/payment/holds.html . 11. Withdrawal from the College Withdrawal is a resignation by the student under which he or she surrenders all rights and privileges as a student in the college. A student withdrawing from the college must notify the Office of Student Affairs and complete a withdrawal form. Students must notify the Office of Financial Aid and be counseled regarding their financial status. Students may receive a partial tuition payment refund or be required to repay financial aid funds according to HPD policy (see Tuition Refund Policy—Voluntary Withdrawals section). To return to school after withdrawal, the student must apply for readmission through the HPD Office of Admissions. A student in the Certificate in Health Professions Preparation who does not register for classes by the end of the Roster Reconciliation period will be considered as having withdrawn from the college. 12. Withdrawal from a Course Withdrawal from a course or courses must be distinguished from withdrawal from the college (see Withdrawal from College section). Students may not elect to withdraw from any required course. However, withdrawal from a course or courses may be required by the college (see Leave of Absence section). A student withdrawn from a course will receive a W on his or her transcript. Students are required to be actively involved in all courses they are registered in. During the first two weeks of each term, KPCOM faculty members will reconcile their course registration with those attending class. Students who are not attending classes, and therefore not included in the roster reconciliation, will be reported to the NSU Office of the University Registrar and will be notified that they will be withdrawn from those courses. In all cases of course withdrawal, the student must repeat the course in its entirety the following year and will receive his or her earned grade for the course.
