Note:  Students who are entering the APPE (4^th year) of the PharmD program will be subject to the following policies:  

1. Students who are not actively enrolled into an APPE block and will not be academically engaged for ore than 45 calendar days will be withdrawn unless they apply for an Administrative Leave of Absence.  All applicable Leave of Absence policies will apply.  Students should review the Leave of Absence section of the University catalog for more details.  
2. Students who will not be actively enrolled into an APPE block and will not be academically engaged for up to 45 days will be withdrawn unless they resubmit a Letter of Intent to Return form to the campus financial aid department.  The Letter of Intent to Return form must be received prior to the last date of attendance in the immediately preceding term.  

Some APPE blocks may be split amongst two semesters using two separate course codes.  In these instances, students will be awarded the full course credit for the longer of the two courses.  The short APPE course will receive the identical grade, however, no credits will be earned for this course.  In the event that two APPE blocks are equal in length, the credit will be awarded to the second block, chronologically.

Class Schedule Information

Classes are typically scheduled during the hours of 7:00 am to 11:00 pm Monday through Friday and 7:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Most often, students attend classes between two to four days per week; however, some courses (most notably in the nursing programs) may require additional days of instruction per week. Nursing clinical rotations may be scheduled any day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays, 24 hours a day. The Dental Hygiene core curriculum requires students to attend classes, labs, and clinic sessions up to five days per week. After program completion and in preparation for clinical board examinations, Dental Hygiene students will be allowed to attend specific clinic sessions.  

Most distance education programs do not have face-to-face class meetings scheduled.  However, the MSN-FNP curriculum includes scheduled weekend intensives during the FNP trimesters.  The courses for the online programs are open for students to commence coursework on the first Monday of each eight week term as part of a trimester and close on the last Sunday of each eight week term within the trimester.

Religious Observance Policy

West Coast University grants students excused absences from class, laboratory, and/or clinical practice experiences for the absence of religious holy days.  Students must inform the Dean/Director of their program by completing the Religious Observance Absence Request form of their religious obligations at least one (1) week before the requested absence.  It is the student’s responsibility to also inform the faculty of their requested absence.  Faculty are asked to be responsive to a request when student informs them in ADVANCE, in accordance with this policy (one week advance notice) of their excused absence.  The student should be given an opportunity to make up missed work because of religious observance.  It is the responsibility of the student to manage the work or student time lost as the result of the religious observance. 

Students are advised to scan syllabi at the beginning of each term to detect potential conflicts with religious observances.  Please note that this Religious Observance policy does NOT apply to a specific church holiday, festival, weekly meetings or church camps.  The Religious Observance addressed by this policy is a tenant of the whole Faith, a day set aside for special religious observance. 

Rescheduling of Class Time

Occasionally, due to holidays or unforeseen circumstances, students may be required to make-up class hours that have been missed due to campus closures.  Any courses that are required to be made-up may be done so at the direction of the appropriate dean and may be made-up at any point throughout the term.  The delivery method of the make-up hours will be dictated by the appropriate dean/chair based upon University, state, and/or accreditation requirements.  Any student who will miss courses due to these circumstances should speak to their program dean/chair for clarification on make-up work obligations.
