College of Pharmacy Student Handbook 2024-2025

Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy 2024–2025 117 made at the end of each semester following calculation of all semester final grades. Students may be eligible if • the grade earned in a failed course is 59.50% to 69.49%, and • the semester GPA is ≥ 2.0. Students are ineligible for remediation by reassessment if • they fail three or more courses in a given semester, or • they have taken three remedial examinations since matriculation into the program, or • their semester GPA is < 2.0, or • they fail a repeated course. A successful remediation by reassessment will result in a grade change from F to C- and recorded as such on the student transcript. An unsuccessful remediation attempt will not count as a second course failure; instead, the original failing grade earned will remain on the transcript. It is the students’ responsibility to be available on the date and time the remediation examination/ reassessment is scheduled. Students who miss a remediation examination will not be offered a makeup examination and will receive a grade of zero for the examination. Course Repetition Students failing a course who are ineligible for remediation by reassessment, or who earn a failing grade (< 69.50%) on the remediation reassessment, will be required to repeat the course the next time it is offered. The course may also be taken at a regionally accredited institution or academic unit within NSU after review of the course syllabus, and the associate dean of the student’s program, in consultation with the course coordinator, determines the equivalency of the course to the Silverman College of Pharmacy course it will be replacing. Prior to registering for an equivalent-approved course outside of NSU’s Silverman College of Pharmacy, the student must obtain approval from the associate dean of the student’s program. Repetition of a previously failed course does not remove it from the total failures permitted over the course of the program. If the student fails on the second attempt through course repetition, the student will be ineligible for remediation by reassessment and will be dismissed from the program (refer to Academic Dismissal Policy). Audit Policy The privilege of taking classes on a noncredit basis is available to students. Maximum credit hours are not to exceed the allowable credit hours for the program. Auditing a course requires registration, which must be completed during the standard registration period. The practice of “sitting in” on classes (attending, with or without participation, classes for which the student is not registered and paying fees) is not allowed.
