Additional Expectations
EXIT INTERVIEW WITH THE PH.D. PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND OT DEPARTMENT HEAD

MEET ALL GRADUATE SCHOOL REQUIREMENTS
To be awarded a Ph.D. in Occupation and Rehabilitation Science, students must meet the Graduate School’s expectations, requirements, and deadlines pertaining to successful degree completion. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with and regularly consult the Graduate Bulletin. Caroline Bilsky is a resource to students for guidance pertaining to procedures, forms, and deadlines of the Graduate School and can be reached at caroline.bilsky@colostate.edu or (970) 491-2091.
MAINTAIN GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING
The Graduate School stipulates that students must be in good academic standing in order to successfully complete their degrees. Students’ overall academic progress toward successful degree completion is based on their cumulative GPAs. A cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better is required for students to be in good academic standing as defined by the Graduate School. The Graduate School places students with cumulative GPAs below a 3.0 on academic probation and allows one semester in which to regain good academic standing. New regularly admitted students will not be placed on probation until they have completed 12 regular credits or two semesters of graduate work, whichever comes first. The Graduate School dismisses students from the doctoral program who fail to bring their cumulative GPAs up to a minimum of a 3.0 after two semesters on academic probation.
UPHOLD ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students are responsible for understanding the meaning of academic integrity and for upholding the University’s expectations related to academic integrity. Students must take these responsibilities seriously, as evidence of academic misconduct may precipitate the student’s immediate (a) failure on an assignment, (b) failure of a course, and (c) dismissal from the program. To assist students in meeting these responsibilities, students are directed to the Graduate Bulletin.
