Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy 2024–2025 119 Academic Standing There are five major classifications for student academic standing: good academic standing, satisfactory academic progress, academic probation, academic suspension, and academic dismissal. Passed reexaminations are not considered course failures in determining academic standing. Good Academic Standing A student in good academic standing is defined as one who passes all courses and maintains a minimum cumulative and semester GPA of 2.0 in the Pharm.D. or M.S. in Pharmaceutical Affairs programs and 3.0 in the Ph.D. or M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences programs. The college reserves the right—and the student, by the student’s act of matriculation, concedes to the college the right—to require withdrawal, academic probation, academic suspension, or academic dismissal, at any time the college deems it necessary to safeguard its standards of scholarship, professional behavior, and compliance with regulations, or for such other reasons as deemed appropriate. Satisfactory Academic Progress A student making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) is defined as one who has passed at least 66.7 percent of attempted credits; successfully passes any repeated courses; and is on track to complete the degree program in no more than six years for entry-level students, five years for advanced-standing students, two years for M.S. in Pharmaceutical Affairs students, four years for M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences students, and seven years for Ph.D. students. Students receiving federal or state aid must meet all SAP requirements to be eligible for federal and/or state financial aid.

Academic Promotion The progress of each student through the curriculum requires continuous satisfactory academic performance. Since many of the curriculum’s courses are offered only once per year, a student may have a revised study plan when not making satisfactory academic progress each semester. This will likely increase the student’s time in the program. Promotion is defined as progression from one student level to the next. A student will be promoted to the next level if the student has • satisfactorily completed all courses in that academic year • maintained satisfactory academic progress, with a minimum cumulative and term GPA of 2.0 for the Pharm.D. or M.S. in Pharmaceutical Affairs programs and 3.0 in the Ph.D. or M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences programs Pharm.D. students who do not meet the above criteria will not advance and will be placed on a revised study plan. Students with a term GPA lower than 2.0 are required to • retake failed courses in their entirety the next time courses are offered (see Remediation Policy in this handbook)
