A clinical average of 2.5 is required at the end of each semester in each of the three
clinical components to continue in the program.
The overall average of the three clinical components, minus any warning or probation
penalties must be 2.5 or greater to continue in the program.
At the mid-point of each academic class, or at the mid-point of the clinical semester, students
who have not attained the minimum prescribed passing grade will be placed on probation.
Students who fail to achieve the minimum passing grade for any academic class or clinical
semester will be dismissed from the program. Student grades will be recorded each semester and
given to the student.
Students who have been dismissed from the Radiography Program for unsatisfactory academic
grades may reapply to the program. No credit will be given for advanced standing should the
student be readmitted. Students who are dismissed clinically may not apply for readmission.
