** For every subject required by Logan (either offered by TSU or Logan), no grade below a 2.00 on a 4.00 scale will be accepted for credit in this articulated program. In addition, all “3+3 Program” students must have earned a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.50 on a scale of 4.00 for the 90 credit hours at TSU .
Logan and TSU both agree to encourage qualified students to participate in this “3+3 Program” through advisement and dissemination of information. The appropriate advisor at TSU will make every effort to maintain a list of students actively pursuing the program with the intent to enroll at Logan and will periodically inform the Admissions Office at Logan of the current list. Care will be taken by TSU to make students aware that some state boards of chiropractic require completed baccalaureate degrees PRIOR TO CHIROPRACTIC STUDY, and to advise students planning to practice in those states accordingly. Both institutions agree to promote the “3+3 program” in their recruitment activities and literature and to refer prospective students, when appropriate, to the other’s admission office.
An appropriate faculty or staff member at TSU shall be assigned and responsible to advise students regarding their academic preparation for admission to Logan and for their ultimate goal of chiropractic licensure. This advisement shall include attention to special requirements for licensure in some states, such as, but not limited to, completion of the baccalaureate degree prior to matriculation in a chiropractic college.
This agreement shall be in force until either institution makes a decision in writing to terminate it. It is agreed that if terminated, that both institutions will honor the terms of the agreement until all students already admitted are given the opportunity to complete the program in a timely manner.
