UNABLE TO ADVANCE
The PTA Program reserves the right to discontinue a student’s enrollment in the PTA Program if, in the judgment of the PTA faculty and/or administrators, the student does not possess the professional behavior or competencies necessary for success as a PTA. If this situation occurs and is contested by the student, a committee will be formed consisting of core faculty, an administrator, and a non- biased third party, such as a faculty member from another school within HU unrelated to the PTA Program. The committee will assess the situation and the student to decide accordingly in compliance with HU policy. Additionally, the following are conditions under which dismissal may occur without an advisory hearing: • Failure to maintain the required 2.5 overall session GPA in the PTA core program. • Receiving a final course grade of a D or below. • Fails to complete practical exam guidelines listed below • Failure to demonstrate appropriate pro- gression in developing professional behaviors. • Failure to demonstrate appropriate comp- etency skills in skills checks and practical exams. • Breach of academic honesty. • Breach of confidentiality. • Failure to meet Individualized Retention/ Remediation Plan criteria, if developed. • Repeated tardiness and/or frequent absences from class, laboratory, or clinic as per syllabi and institutional guidelines. • Failure to make up missed labs or assignments as per course syllabi. • Failure to satisfactorily meet the Performance Criteria as detailed in the Clinical Performance Instrument for any of the two (2) clinical internships. • Failure to comply with requirements and standards as detailed in the University and PTA Student Handbooks • Fails to provide current health insurance DISMISSAL FROM THE PROGRAM
