258 Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences Expenses and Financial Aid The primary financial responsibility for an education rests with students and their families, but economic circumstances for some families may make it necessary for the student to obtain assistance from other sources. The purpose of the Student Financial Assistance Program at Nova Southeastern University is to help as many qualified students as possible to complete their health professions education. Various loans, scholarships, and grants are available to qualified students to help ease the high cost of a health professions education. These assistance programs are described in a variety of separate university publications. The demands of these programs limit the number of hours a student can work at an outside job. During the months of clinical rotations, it is difficult or impossible for the students to work. Transfer Credits Any students wishing to transfer from another university into a Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences program must provide the following: • official transcripts from all colleges or universities previously attended, sent directly to Nova Southeastern University Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences Office of Admissions • a letter of recommendation to the department chair or director of the program in which the applicant is currently enrolled Transfer credits, if awarded, will be given pending transcript evaluation and for courses that are directly applicable to courses outlined in the curriculum of the allied health department or program in which the student is applying. All transfer credit decisions will be made at the discretion of the department chair or program director. Promotion, Suspension, Dismissal, and Readmission The policies for promotion, suspension, dismissal, and readmission are outlined in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences Student Handbook, which is revised, updated, and distributed annually to all students.
