personal assessment tools and instruments. 2) At the option of the instructor, mandatory attendance at a review session(s) focusing on key course content that is critical for successful course completion and progression in subsequent, related courses. 3) Participation in tutoring sessions facilitated by senior students who have a strong academic record. 4) Identification of non-academic causes for poor classroom performance and referral to appropriate counseling and related services. c. After a plan of action has been formulated, the student will be required to attend regular follow-up sessions with the instructor and/or Director of Student Services to monitor progress. READMISSION AFTER PHARMACY SUSPENSION: 16. A student on pharmacy suspension may apply for readmission after a pharmacy suspension of one semester, but the application will ordinarily be denied, unless convincing evidence is presented to indicate that the student's chances of success have materially improved during the year of suspension. Based on the individual circumstances, the Admissions Committee will render a decision to 1) re-admit the student after one semester, 2) recommend an additional semester of suspension, or 3) deny readmission depending on the individual details of the petition and request. Students who are granted readmission are admitted on pharmacy probation and the Admissions Committee will prescribe academic and/or non-academic requirements the student must follow upon readmission. 17. If a student who was suspended for academic reasons is readmitted, a D, F, W, or U in any one course in any semester after readmission will result in a second suspension and the student will not be considered for admission in the future. OTHER COLLEGE OF PHARMACY REGULATIONS: 18. A student must have attained a cumulative pharmacy grade-point average of 2.00 or above and completed all prerequisites prior to entry into the required professional practice academic year. In addition, a pharmacy cumulative grade-point average of 2.00 must be earned to fulfill requirements for the Pharm.D. degree in Pharmacy. 19. Transfer credit from another institution will not be allowed for any required professional course work a student attempted, but failed to complete satisfactorily, while enrolled in the SWOSU College of Pharmacy. 20. Pharmacy admission is restricted to those persons who meet high standards of character, morality and conduct. The faculty of the College of Pharmacy reserves the right to place on non-academic probation or suspend from the College of Pharmacy any students whose attitude, actions or conduct, on or off campus, could discredit themselves, the College of Pharmacy, SWOSU, or the profession of pharmacy. 21. All students in the professional program must follow the Guidelines for Academic Integrity of the College of Pharmacy and the College of Pharmacy Professionalism Policy. Pharmacy students are also subject to all rules and regulations of SWOSU. 22. The College of Pharmacy does not recognize any academic forgiveness or academic reprieve granted in the computation of pre-pharmacy or pharmacy grade-point averages. 23. Nationwide background checks are conducted for students who are conditionally admitted into the College of Pharmacy (COP) professional program; and at specific points throughout the student’s academic progression in
the professional pharmacy curriculum as determined by COP regulations, practice requirements, and State laws and/or regulations. If the background check indicates that a student has (1) been convicted, pled guilty or nolo contendere or otherwise ordered to complete a period of probation or supervision for a misdemeanor or felony relating to any controlled dangerous substances as defined by the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act in this state, any other state, or the United States, OR (2) been convicted, pled guilty or nolo contendere or otherwise ordered to complete a period of probation or supervision for any felony of this state, any other state, or the United States, OR (3) such charges pending, the student will have until the beginning of the admission semester or rotation semester to resolve the issue. If the issue is not resolved by that deadline, the student will not be admitted to the program or allowed to continue in the program at that time. The student who is not allowed to continue in the rotational semester MAY, in the sole discretion of the Dean of the College of Pharmacy, be granted a leave of absence for one semester to address and resolve the issue. The student who is not admitted will need to resolve the issue and apply for a subsequent admission semester. Resolution of the issue could involve: (1) providing proof that the information was in error and the background check company subsequently removes the flag; (2) that the incident was expunged from court records and the student provides documentation of such; or (3) having further legal action provided to clear up the pending issue. If the student is able to resolve the issue before the admission or rotational semester begins, they will be allowed to proceed without further question. All costs associated with resolution of these issues is the responsibility of the student. The College of Pharmacy will not allow the student with such a record as described above to proceed with the program because no pharmacy facility shall employ any person with such a record without obtaining a waiver from the Director of the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (OBN) for every pharmacy facility that the student would utilize to complete their experiential requirements of the degree. An OBN waiver can result in increased insurance costs for the pharmacy facility and present a long-term, negative stigma for the pharmacy facility since it will always be on file with OBN. Obtaining experiential sites is already a challenging task without requesting special circumstances that could be detrimental to the pharmacy facility. Therefore, the COP will not require or request experiential sites to secure an OBN waiver for any student rotations.
SPECIAL NOTES ON THE PROFESSIONAL PHARM.D. PROGRAM

The successful completion of the professional Pharm.D. program curriculum in the College of Pharmacy as well as the practice of pharmacy requires that the accumulation of scientific knowledge is accompanied by the simultaneous acquisition of skills and professional attitudes and behavior.

Only students who are currently enrolled in the College of Pharmacy may attend the professional Pharm.D. program classes in the College of Pharmacy without permission from the Dean of the College of Pharmacy.
