including completion of 75 % of the level II fieldwork course. If a student chooses to withdraw after 75 % completion of a level II fieldwork course, a grade of F will be applied to the level II fieldwork course. Students need to discuss intent to withdraw from a level II fieldwork course with the academic fieldwork coordinator.

Students may initiate a withdrawal from a level II fieldwork course, provided they are not subject to dismissal from the fieldwork site because of failure, disciplinary action, or fieldwork site dismissal policies. Students are only able to withdraw from a level II fieldwork course once. If, after discussion with the academic fieldwork coordinator, a withdrawal from a level II fieldwork course is approved, the student must submit a completed Course Withdrawal form to the Registrar’ s Office. The Course Withdrawal form can be found in the Campbell Solution Center or the Registrar’ s Office website. Students are financially responsible for all courses from which they withdrawal.

Students reserve the right to appeal a program dismissal if there were extenuating circumstances that effected the students’ academic performance during the semester that the dismissal was given. Students should notify the Program Director that an appeal is sought within 48 hours after receiving the program dismissal letter. The Program Director will then provide the student, the contact information for the Chair of the Appeals Committee for the Frances M. Maguire College of Nursing and Health Professions in order to formally submit an appeal. An appeal can only occur once for either a BHSOS or MSOT student. If a BHSOS student filed an appeal as an undergraduate student and are successful in that appeal, they do not qualify for another program dismissal appeal as a graduate student.

Internal / External Transfers: No more than six graduate credits taken at other accredited institutions prior to matriculation may be applied toward the master’ s degree. If the applicant has completed graduate-level occupational therapy coursework within the past five years, prerequisite coursework and respective syllabi will be reviewed by the faculty admissions committee to determine if the applicant has met all course learning outcomes and the associated ACOTE standards of any course for which the student would receive credit. The program does not award course credit for work experience.
