Incomplete Grades and Course Make-up Work
The opportunity to clear incomplete "I" grades and make-up missed work, including examinations, may
be available to the student. Faculty has the sole discretion in permitting the student to make-up missed
course work, including a course examination. The student's follow-through with policy regarding
attendance, the student's previous attendance records and academic progress will be considered when
making this decision. A fee is charged to offset the school's expense associated with make-up grading,
clinical time, examination preparation, proctoring, and recording. The fee is waived for faculty directed
absence due to confirmed illness, jury duty, immediate family member death, and military purposes.

Attendance and Method of Delivery
The program is a residential program of study. Students are expected to be present and on time for all
scheduled learning experiences, and absences are strongly discouraged. It is the responsibility of the
student to notify the appropriate faculty member prior to an absence. Missed course work, learning
experiences and examinations may be made up at the discretion of the faculty member.

Class and Fieldwork
Classes are scheduled on a regular basis and may either be in the morning, afternoon, or all day,
depending on the courses being taught at the time. Schedule of classes is determined upon registration
prior to each semester.

Credit Hours
Each required course in the professional curriculum reflects a credit hour value. The Baptist Health
College Little Rock uses the credit hour formula identified in the Academic Information section of the
Catalog.
Fall and Spring semesters are sixteen (16) weeks. The semester hour is the unit of credit used and is
defined as the amount of credit given for one clock hour in class per week for 16 weeks (or the
equivalent). Additional credit is given for some laboratory learning or practice.

Educational Plans and Promotion
On entry, each student receives an Educational Plan of Study. The plan must be followed to ensure
completion and graduation on scheduled date. There must be no deviations from the plan without the
respective Program Director's written prior approval. All Occupational Therapy Assistant students must
complete Level II Fieldwork within 18 months of the completion of written coursework in order to be
eligible for graduation.

Graduation Requirements
Graduation is dependent on the student's fulfillment of specific graduation requirements.
1. Satisfactorily complete the program of study; includes all progression and promotion requirements.
2. Settle all financial obligations.
