DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
COLLEGE OF HEALTH AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT SCIENCES
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO
Effective March 1, 2001

Policies related to the physical therapy GPPA program

In order to maintain guaranteed professional program admission status, you must:
· -maintain a cumulative 4.25 GPA. This cumulative GPA will be assessed at the end of each academic year (which includes the summer session) and again at the conclusion of the fall semester prior to the anticipated entrance into the professional program.
· -not fall below a 3.5 GPA in any single semester.
· -maintain a full-time course load of 12 or more graded (A - E) credits each semester, in addition to any pass/fail or satisfactory/unsatisfactory credits.
· -meet with an advisor in the Department of Physical Therapy each year to review your academic progress.
·-take all prerequisite course work for physical therapy at UIC. A semester or year abroad educational program is allowed as long as it is sponsored by UIC and the above criteria are satisfied. (Please see Policy on Advanced Placement Credit and Credit for College Courses Taken While in High School, below, for exceptions to this rule.)
· -be a member of the pre-HHDS Club (an association of students who intend to apply to one of the professional programs offered in HHDS) in fulfillment of College of Health and Human Development Sciences (HHDS) requirements for maintaining GPPA eligibility.

Membership in the UIC Honors College is strongly recommended by UIC, but not required.

In order to be admitted into the professional program through the GPPA you must:
· -have GPPA status at the time of entry.
· -complete a minimum of three years of academic work at UIC
· -earn a baccalaureate degree at UIC prior to entry into the program.
· -meet all physical therapy program course prerequisites and any additional admissions prerequisites that are in place for the year of entry into the professional program by February 1 of the calendar year of desired entry. (This includes but is not limited to course prerequisites and volunteer experience requirements. Professional admission requirements may change after you enter UIC. You are responsible for consulting with your Department of Physical Therapy advisor in one of your regular semester meetings to be apprised of any changes which may occur.)
· -enter into the DPT program at the next occurring Fall Semester following graduation. This means that if you graduate in Fall Semester, you must enter the following Fall, but you do not have to take courses after your graduation. If you graduate in Spring or Summer, you must enter that Fall.

· -declare your intention to enter the professional Physical Therapy Program by submitting the appropriate physical therapy declaration materials by February 1 of the calendar year you hope to enter.
Entry into the Program is in Fall term only. Professional program declaration materials for GPPA students are obtained from the Department of Physical Therapy. Declaration packets are available in the Department of Physical Therapy.

Advanced Placement Credit and Credit for College Courses Taken While in High School for GPPA students

This policy applies to any Advanced Placement credit awarded by UIC based upon examinations administered by the Educational Testing Service for the College Board or any college courses taken while in high school that have been transferred to UIC and are exceptions to the policy that all prerequisites for the physical therapy program must be taken at UIC (from Conditions of Maintenance of GPPA Status for Physical Therapy).

· -This transfer or AP credit may be used to satisfy any psychology, physics, or calculus prerequisites.
· -For each semester of transfer or AP credit used towards Biology prerequisites, another biology course with lab component must be taken at UIC (excluding any botany courses).
· -This transfer or AP credit may be used to satisfy the Chemistry prerequisites, but one additional chemistry course for science majors must be taken at UIC to supplement the chemistry (whether one or two semester length courses have been awarded through AP or transfer credit).
· -Transfer or AP credit may not be used to satisfy the statistics prerequisite.

Process to appeal for reinstatement to GPPA status:

Those students whose cumulative GPA is below 4.25 at the end of an academic year or who have a GPA below 3.5 in any semester will lose their GPPA status as per the conditions specific for maintenance of GPPA status. A GPPA student who has lost GPPA status may appeal to be reinstated based on a presentation of special circumstances.

Any student admitted to UIC through the Department Of Physical Therapy’s Guaranteed Professional Program Admissions whose cumulative Grade Point Average in an academic year falls below the required 4.25 as of the end of Summer Semester or who has a GPA below 3.5 in a semester may petition the faculty in writing to consider mitigating circumstances associated with the drop in GPA. If the faculty believes that the mitigating circumstances and the student’s overall academic performance warrant special consideration, the student will be informed in writing that he or she may regain GPPA status if by the end of the following semester the student is able to bring the cumulative GPA to 4.25 or greater, has a semester GPA greater than 3.5, and maintains all other conditions for continued GPPA status.

Appeals will require strong documentation and evidence and will not be considered until summer the end of semester.
