Failed Clinical Evaluations

Students are expected to earn a passing grade in all clinic rotations within a clinical experience course. Clinical rotation passing scores are specified in the syllabus and on the grade form for each clinical course. Students must receive at least a C course grade in order to pass a clinical experience course. Note: a C- is considered a failing grade.

Failing scores for two (2) clinical rotations in a clinical experience course will result in automatic course failure, even if the cumulative scores for all rotations results in a passing score. A clinical experience course failure results in Program Probation for failure to progress.

Clinical competencies earned during failed clinical rotations will be removed from the clinical database and not counted for course productivity or toward graduation requirements.
