OPTOG 1597B: Optometric Competency Course

Program
Credits 1.0 Max Credits 12
This series of courses serves to enhance the mastery of optometry skills, techniques and concepts. A course in the sequence is assigned by the Student Promotion and Graduation Committee to a student who has been academically decelerated after receiving a non-passing grade in a required course within the Doctor of Optometry curriculum. The course is assigned for 1-12 credit hours during the quarter in which a student repeats the failed course. The assigned course will include content previously completed, that is deemed critical for success in the Doctor of Optometry curriculum. This is a pass/fail course; letter grades are not assigned. A student who fails to successfully complete the assigned Optometric Competency Course will be referred to the Student Promotion and Graduation Committee and may be dismissed from the college.
