after the end of each semester and at other times designated by the dean or executive associate dean. At these times, the grades and records for selected students are presented to the committee. The Student Progress Committee also meets to address student violations of university or college regulations (see page 125). The Student Progress Committee recommends to the dean actions relative to the academic progress and status of individual students. In the case of regulation violations, the committee recommends to the dean disciplinary actions relative to the violation. Academic Honor Because complete confidence in the honor and integrity of health care practitioners is essential, students are held to the high standards of intellectual integrity befitting the learned profession they are entering. While students have an obligation to assist fellow students in meeting common goals of their education, dishonest acts will subject the student to immediate disciplinary actions up to, and including, expulsion from the college. Such acts include any attempt to pass examinations by improper means, to present work not performed by the student, or to aid or abet any dishonest act. Academic dishonesty is considered a serious academic offense by the faculty and administration of this university. The College of Pharmacy has a zero tolerance policy toward cheating, plagiarism, or deceptions of any manner and material. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, copying answers from another student’s test paper, using notes or answers during a test without approval of the instructor, having another student take your examination or sign an attendance roster for you, and submitting a paper without proper citations for another’s ideas or quotations. These are only some examples of academic dishonesty, and students are required to acquaint themselves with the specific course requirements and regulations of the college and the university. Instructors have the authority to give a failing grade for the test and/or course to students who demonstrate academic dishonesty. Instructors may also refer cases to the Student Progress Committee for review. Department heads, program directors, associate and assistant deans, and the dean may enforce additional penalties ranging up to expulsion from the program. Students who wish to appeal a penalty imposed by an instructor or administrator may request that the case be forwarded to the Student Progress Committee. Academic Standing There are four major classifications for student academic standing: good standing, academic probation, academic suspension, and academic dismissal. Passed reexaminations are not considered course failures in determining academic standing. A final decision on a student’s academic standing will be made by the dean of the college based on available information and a recommendation from the Student Progress Committee. Guidelines used by the Student Progress Committee are listed on the following pages. Good Standing A student in good standing is defined as one who passes all courses and maintains a cumulative and semester GPA of 70 percent or higher. Students who fail to maintain good standing in the program may be subject to sanctions, including probation, suspension, and dismissal. Any student failing a course must repeat it at his or her own expense. College of Pharmacy 115
Academic Probation (Any one of the following may result in academic probation.) • cumulative and/or semester GPA below 70 percent • failure of or withdrawal from any didactic course • failure of or withdrawal from any experiential course in any grading period • repeating an academic year • placement in the mandatory extended program Academic Suspension (Any one of the following may result in academic suspension.) • failure of or withdrawal from any didactic course upon repeating it • failure of or withdrawal from any experiential course upon repeating it • failure of two didactic courses in a semester • failure of two advanced experiential courses • failure of three or more courses during a student’s academic enrollment • failure of any course while on an extended program Academic Dismissal (Any one of the following may result in academic dismissal.) • semester or cumulative GPA below 70 percent in two consecutive grading periods • failure of three or more courses in one grading period • failure of five or more courses during a student’s academic enrollment • failure of an experiential course in any two grading periods whether or not they are consecutive • failure of any course upon returning from suspension • remaining on academic probation for more than one year with continuing failures • more than seven years to complete the entry-level program • more than five years to complete the postbaccalaureate program • legal, moral, behavioral, ethical, or academic dishonesty or professional misconduct • determination by the dean that there are factors that would interfere with or prevent the student from practicing the highest quality of pharmacy Students on academic probation will remain at that status until their GPA is raised appropriately or failed courses/experiences are remediated, retaken, or retested and passed, or as determined by the dean or the dean’s designee. During the warning or probation period, students will not be allowed to register on the Web and must meet with an academic adviser each semester for manual registration. Students should limit extracurricular activities and refrain from obtaining employment. Students on academic probation will not be permitted to represent the college or hold office in any student organization. Permission to participate in extracurricular activities (e.g., professional conferences, health fairs, mission trips) must be submitted in writing to the dean’s office and may be granted only by the dean of the college. Academic Promotion Promotion is defined as progression from one professional student level to the next. A student will be promoted to the next professional student level if the student has • satisfactorily completed all courses in that academic year • maintained satisfactory academic progress, with a GPA of 70 percent or better 116 College of Pharmacy
