Gwynedd Mercy University AY2021-2022 Undergraduate Academic Catalog
Probation Students in the professional phase of the program whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 will be placed on academic probation . The calculation of the cumulative GPA will begin with the first summer semester of professional coursework in the summer following the students ’ junior year . Note : the students ’ GPA prior to this summer term of the senior year is not calculated into this professional phase GPA . For example , if a student entering the professional phase of the Occupational Science program had a GPA of 3.3 and then earned a GPA of 2.8 in the first summer term of the professional phase of the Occupational Science Program , their professional phase GPA would be 2.8 , placing them on academic probation .
Occupational Science students are eligible to re-take up to 2 courses in the Occupational Science curriculum that are not an OSC 400 level course . If a student earns less than a “ C ” in one OSC 400 level course , they will earn an “ F ” for that course , be placed on academic probation , and they cannot progress to the next academic term in the professional phase of the Occupational Science program until this course is retaken the following year and an earned grade of “ B ” or better is achieved . If a student earns less than a “ C ” in two or more courses in an academic term during the professional phase of the program , the student will be ineligible to continue into the occupational therapy program as a graduate student . Academic probation from the Occupational Science program can continue into the Occupational Therapy program as a graduate student .
Program Dismissal To be removed from academic probation , the student must raise their cumulative grade point average to 3.0 or greater . Students placed on academic probation shall be given up to two successive semesters in which to raise their cumulative GPA to 3.0 or better . Failure to raise the cumulative GPA to 3.0 or greater will result in a recommendation of dismissal from the Occupational Science program . Students can elect to change their major and complete degree requirements of a different major offered by the university .
If a student completes the retake of a failed OSC 400 level course and earns less than a “ B ”, they will not be eligible to enter the Occupational Therapy program as a graduate student .
