Non-Degree Seeking Student

The Shenandoah University TDPT program invites practicing physical therapists who are interested in satisfying ongoing professional development goals, continuing education requirements, or to meet deficiencies in their credentialing report for eligibility for US licensure.  Select courses are available for non-degree seeking students, with a passing grade of 80% required to earn credit for each course taken. Non-degree seeking students are eligible to take up to 13 credits of coursework. Students who wish to obtain their DPT degree, and meet admissions criteria, may transfer in all coursework successfully completed through the SU TDPT program to earn their DPT at SU.

In addition to policies and procedures of the university as identified in this catalog, students are responsible for reading, understanding, and adhering to the policies and procedures found in the Transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy Student Handbook.
