Readmission to Limited Access/Selected Admissions Health Programs
This procedure applies to students who fail to successfully complete a program course in the Dental Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Paramedic, Pharmacy Technician, Practical Nursing, Radiography, Registered Nursing (Generic and Transition) and Surgical Technology programs. The process for readmission to a limited access/ selected admissions health program depends upon the course the student is requesting to repeat.
Readmission to limited access/selected admissions health programs is under review and subject to change. Students are encouraged to meet with an advisor or visit the PHSC Health Occupations page for updates.
- First Semester Repeats:
Students who fail to successfully complete one or more program courses in their first semester must reapply to the program. This is done by submitting a program application and application fee to the Admissions and Student Records office during the posted application time frame. Students must meet all admission requirements in effect at the time of their reapplication.
- Second and Subsequent Semester Repeats:
Students who do not earn a grade of "C" or higher in a limited access/selected admissions health program course in their second or subsequent semesters must request to repeat the course by submitting a Student Request to Repeat Health Program Course form (IIN-27). This form is submitted to the coordinator of the appropriate health program or the associate dean of nursing. Courses may be repeated only with the recommendations of the coordinator of the health program or the associate dean of nursing, the dean of health occupations and the vice president of academic affairs/college provost. If the request is approved, students will be allowed to enroll in the next available course, on a space-available basis. Students must meet all program and graduation requirements in effect at the time of their readmission. In addition, students approved to repeat a course may be required to demonstrate retention of essential prerequisite knowledge and skills before being allowed to re-enter the clinical sequence of courses. Students will be notified by the program coordinator of the next available start date. Students in a two-year program will have four years to complete all program requirements for that program. Students in a one year program will have two years to complete all program requirements for that program. If students are unable to meet this requirement they will have to reapply to the program.
- Multiple Course Repeats:
This procedure applies to students who:
- Do not earn a grade of "C" or higher in the same course twice,or
- Do not earn a grade of "C" or higher in two different courses.
Students who do not earn a grade of "C" or higher in two health program courses, either in the same course or in a combination of courses, will not be permitted to re-enroll in that health program. Upon the recommendation of the program coordinator or associate dean of nursing, the student may be required to enroll in Strategies for Student Success (SLS 0002) prior to re-entry of the health program.
