2.  To remain in good standing, students are required to achieve a Harrison School of Pharmacy (HSOP) GPA of at least 2.25.  GPAs will be calculated only from professional course work, which is defined as core pharmacy courses approved by the faculty and listed in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum.

3.  Harrison School of Pharmacy students with semester or cumulative GPAs below 2.25, or who receive Ds and Fs in required courses may be dismissed from the HSOP or required to undergo a remedial plan of study as directed by the Committee on Admissions and Academic Requirements.  The remedial plan of study may require students to retake courses in which they received grades of less than C.  Policies concerning academic progression, probation, and dismissal are specified in the HSOP Academic Performance Standards.  A copy of the Standard may be obtained from the HSOP Office of Academic and Student Affairs.

4.  Students must observe pre-requisites and co-requisites stated in the current Auburn University Bulletin.  A pre-requisite statement denoting “__-year PDY standing” indicates that the student must have passed all courses in the prior year of the curriculum.

5.  Any student in the pharmacy curriculum who is subject to academic suspension and desires to re-enter the HSOP must, in addition to complying with the pertinent University regulations, be approved by the HSOP Committee on Admissions and Academic Requirements.
