122 Barry and Judy Silverman College of Pharmacy 2024–2025 Extended Students Students who have finished the academic year, but have not successfully completed all of the courses in the respective year, are classified as extended students if their original graduation date is extended. Students on an extended program may be eligible to request a one-semester tuition reduction. The dean will only consider tuition reductions on a case-by-case evaluation for students in good academic standing who have not had additional failures while on an extended program. The tuition reduction, if approved, will be applied during one of the semesters of the student’s last year of the program. Graduation Requirements for the Pharm.D.
