    PROGRESSION POLICY

    A student must pass all courses in the program in order to graduate from the program.

    A student must pass all courses in a quarter/quarter in order to progress to the next quarter/quarter in the program.

    If a student fails one course in a quarter/quarter the following policy is in effect:

    Progression Course: they face termination from the program. A progression course is defined as a course that is delineated as a pre-requisite course for a course in the following quarter/quarter. All required pre-requisite courses are listed in the Academic Policy as published in the Catalog Addendum.

    Non-Progression Course: the course must be made up as per the Make-Up Policy published in the Institutional Catalog.

    Diagnostic Medical Sonography program students are required to sit for the ARDMS Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) exam by the end of their fourth quarter in order to progress to their fifth quarter.

    Comprehensive Exam:

    A student who fails up to two didactic courses in a quarter may qualify for a comprehensive exam(s) for each of the failed courses. The results of the comprehensive exam(s) will determine the student’s requirements to meet the objectives of the failed course.

    Qualifying for a Comprehensive Exam

    In order to qualify for a comprehensive exam a student’s course average must be a minimum grade of 65.

    Results of the Comprehensive Exam

    90 to 100 – the student will be considered to have passed the course and will receive the minimum passing grade as their recorded score

    80 to 89 – the student will be required to complete an independent course of study that meets the objectives of the course. A learning contract will be signed by the student detailing the objective criteria they are required to complete. Once complete the minimum passing grade will be recorded as their score

    79 or below – Progression Course: the student has failed the course.

    Non-Progression Course: the student will need to make-up the course as per the Make-Up Policy as published in the Institutional Catalog
