The quarterly course schedule for doctor of chiropractic degree students is predetermined and must be completed in the proper sequence to meet licenseing and procedural standards. The college reserves the right to modify this schedule as necessary. Students whose schedules must be altered for personal or academic reasons will be placed on special schedule, which will result in the postponement of graduation. (Effective Winter 2013)
