Program Retention Policy

Students must demonstrate acceptable progression in their advancement through the program criteria. Students will jeopardize program status (probation and/or program dismissal) if they are unable to comply with the following program standards:

-3.0 GPA in all Professional Athletic Training education courses;
-2.5 GPA overall credit hours;
-Maintain Code of Ethics consistent with the NATA and University Athletic
Training Policy;
-Maintain standards of academic and practicum requirements consistent with

Probation

Students will be placed on probation within the academic realm if they are unable to maintain the ATEP criteria, as listed above. The Athletic Training Program Director will conduct review of academic probation status at the end of each academic semester, and students will be notified of their standing in the program. Upon notification of their standing, students will sign documentation regarding their status, which will be kept on file. (Students are limited to two consecutive probation semesters.) Failure to reestablish adequate academic/practical standards consistent with program guidelines will result in program dismissal. Once dismissed from the ATEP, students are NOT eligible for re-admission.
