A GPA below 2.7 in any given semester could potentially affect financial aid eligibility which is why the program requires students to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better in each semester of the professional phase to prevent placement on programmatic academic probation. Programmatic academic probation initiates the development and implementation of an individualized Student Enrichment Plan designed to provide the students with actionable objectives and goals to ensure they do not reach the 2.7 threshold. If a student is identified to be in academic “at-risk” at the mid-point of a course, a timely verbal as well as written notification will be made to the student via the student’s university-issued email by the faculty member teaching the course and/or clinical instructor and the DPT program Director and Student Academic Success Coordinator (SASC) will also be notified of potential academic problems. The student will then be given guidance by the (SASC) towards study skills and remediation. A student will be placed on programmatic academic probation if a 3.0 GPA is not achieved; failure to achieve a 3.0 in two consecutive semesters may result in the dismissal of the student from the DPT Program.
