Once a final appeals decision on academic dismissal has been rendered, the student does not have accessto the appeals process for this same issue again.Any student enrolled in the St. Augustine campus-based programs who feel a grievance is unresolvedmay refer their grievance to Executive Director, Commission for Independent Education, 2650 ApalacheeParkway, Suite A, Tallahassee, FL 32301, 850-245-3200 or toll-free 888-224-6684. Students attendingthe San Marcos campus-based programs may refer their grievance to Executive Director, Bureau forPrivate, Postsecondary Education, 1625 North Market Boulevard, Suite S-202, Sacramento, CA 95834.DEGREE COMPLETIONAcceptance into the University and payment of tuition (on a trimester basis) is not a contract assuring thatthe student will graduate with the degree for which they applied. Graduation will depend on satisfactoryacademic progression, professional conduct, issues of safety, and the satisfactory completion of clinicalinternship/fieldwork experiences and exit exams. Students in the entry level DPT program must alsocomplete the courses in their final trimester in order to participate in the graduation ceremony. TheStudent Handbook and the course syllabi detail what is considered “satisfactory”. Appeals processes arein place and the University President is the final point of appeal. Wherein the President finds that theprocess was executed in an appropriate manner, the President is inclined to support the process and itsfindings.The following requirements must be met for a student to be eligible for graduation: Each student must satisfactorily complete all academic and clinical courses and be in good academicstanding. All fiscal obligations to the University or its subsidiaries must be paid in full. The student must make application for graduation one trimester prior to the proposed date ofgraduation. Should a student be unable to successfully complete part of the final coursework but has successfullymet all other degree requirements including the exit examination, the student may be allowed towalk at commencement with the respective cohort class. The candidate will sign anacknowledgement regarding participation in the ceremony. The candidate will be “hooded” duringthe ceremony, but will not receive a signed diploma. The signed diploma will be dated to reflect thesubsequent graduate date of degree completion as will be denoted on the transcript. The graduatewill have the option of participating in the commencement ceremony subsequent to degreecompletion to receive the signed diploma.CONTINUING EDUCATION POLICIESStudents will not be excused from scheduled classes, internship, or fieldwork to attend ContinuingEducation courses.35
