POLICY TITLE

POLICY STATEMENT
Doctor of Chiropractic Program (DCP) students may enroll for a maximum cumulative total of 27.5 credit hours per quarter for all degree plans. Those students seeking to take up to 31.5 credit hours must have an institutional cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above, not failed any classes in the previous quarter, have no outstanding I or IPs, and must receive approval from the Dean, or their designee. Any student 8th quarter or above, who has not successfully passed all six domains of Part 1 board exams will not be eligible to register for more than 27.5 credit hours.
PROCEDURE(S)
The advisor will note the request for permission to take more than 27.5 credit hours in any given quarter by Friday of Week 10 the prior quarter. The required form must include the total number of credit hours and the course requested, the rationale as to why the additional credits are needed, and the student’s current cumulative GPA and total credits completed toward degree. The Dean, or their designee, will review the request from the advisor and respond to the student and advisor.
Any student who has enrolled in more than 27.5 credit hours without permission of the Dean’s office will be contacted and asked to withdraw from courses sufficient enough to lower the total credit hours being attempted to 27.5 or less. If the student does not respond, the student will be administratively withdrawn from courses sufficient enough to lower the total credit hours being attempted to 27.5 hours or less.
