Physician Assistant Program following Dismissal

Students who have been dismissed from the Physician Assistant program for academic or student conduct reasons may be readmitted to the University if they have been approved for reentry through the appeals process.  

Due to the didactic and clinical experience requirements for certification and licensure, if a student is dismissed, appeals to reenter and is approved, the student will (1) reenter the program on a space available basis and (2) audit all PA course(s) previously completed and repeat the PA course(s) not completed (see Repeated Courses and GPA section of the catalog). 

The tuition and fees for the audit course(s) prior to and/or concurrently with a repeat course(s) will be waived for those students who complete the entire trimester.  Students who withdraw from the University (or begin an LOA) before completing the trimester will be subject to a pro-rata portion of tuition and fees for courses scheduled for the trimester at the time of withdrawal.  

The student must meet all requirements for the audited courses including completing assigned work, attending class and any other terms as outlined by the course director.  

The student must earn a minimum grade of 76% in all trimester courses (audit and repeat courses) using the scale outlined in the "Grading" section of the catalog. If the minimum grade is not earned in each PA course, the reentry student will be dismissed from the program and will not be readmitted.
