• Advanced course placement is granted into the PAS program in limited circumstances, as described below.
• All students are required to complete all curriculum components at GVSU.
• If a student believes they have completed course work at GVSU that satisfies program requirements (i.e., Applied Statistics for Health Professions [STA 610] or Prosected Regional Anatomy [BMS 561]), they may submit a letter to the program after acceptance.
  • This letter must include the official transcript of the course, the course grade, and the syllabus of record.
• Approval is required from both the individual GVSU course instructors and the PAS program. Approval is based on the timing of course completion and course performance. Courses must be completed within two (2) calendar years of program matriculation. The final course grade must be a B or higher.
• This information will only be addressed after acceptance into the GVSU PAS program.
• The GVSU PAS program does not provide advanced placement to students who have completed advanced coursework at other sponsoring institutions, including portions of a PA program curriculum.
• This policy is consistent with the Graduate School Approval of Course Waivers, Course Substitutions, and Individual Program Plans Policy.
