POLICY TITLE
DCP Progression Policy
POLICY STATEMENT
The Council on Chiropractic Education Policy 56 states that at least 70% of entering students must complete the Doctor of Chiropractic Program within 150% of the time normally designated for completion of the degree, and 80% of students must successfully pass all parts of the licensing exams within six months post-graduation. To facilitate compliance with CCE Policy 56, each student enrolled in the DCP will be required to successfully complete a minimum of 18 credit hours per quarter. Each student is required to successfully pass all six domains of Part 1 boards to enter student clinic (8th quarter). Each student is also required to successfully pass Part 2 boards to be eligible to take the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in their (11th academic quarter). Those students making a formal declaration by the end of 6th quarter, that they will not be practicing in the United States are exempt from NBCE exams.
PROCEDURE(S)
The academic record of each College of Chiropractic student will be reviewed quarterly to determine compliance with the DCP Progression Policy. A report will be generated by the end of the third week of each quarter by the Dean’s office in conjunction with the University
Advisement Center (UAC) to provide a list of students who are not in compliance.
Any student that is found in non-compliance with the DCP Progression Policy will be placed on Academic Warning or Academic Probation (see Academic Standing Policy AS.039), with a registration hold placed on their account, and required to meet with their advisor to develop an academic plan to meet requirements of CCE Policy 56. Those students who have not passed all six domains of Part 1 boards by the end of their 7th academic quarter will not be allowed to enter student clinic (8th academic quarter) until they successfully pass all six domains of Part 1 boards.
Those students who have not passed Part 2 boards will not be eligible to take OSCE (11th quarter). The COC Dean’s Office will be responsible for notifying students of their status relative to this policy.
Students who will not be practicing in the United States must make a formal declaration indicating such by the end of 6th quarter to be exempt from NBCE exams. The COC Dean’s Office will maintain the list of students making this declaration and will follow up with students
who will be practicing outside the United States, within six months of graduation, to obtain proof of licensure and/or recognition to legally practice within the country where they reside.
