University of Miami, Barry, FIU allow you to repeat a class if you have to, or you can get 3 C's. They care about their students, and they would anything to help. Like a mentioned, so many different options out there.

Save your money and avoid significant headaches. This is the ONLY school in South Florida that does not allow students to retake a class under any circumstances. Additionally, if you receive two C's, you will be dismissed without the opportunity to appeal. 

I personally know someone who was dismissed from the program due to receiving 2 C's, from the same professor. At one point, she asked if she needed 0.5 additional points, he would give it to her, his response was : absolutely not . Despite maintaining an A in every class except pathophysiology, she was still dismissed, leaving her with over $60,000 in student loans. Every corhot they loose a few students for the same reasons. Please be aware of these policies. There're so many different better options out there!

I know USF you can't get a C at all or they'll just dismiss you. Since I'm assuming your in the program do you not recommend this program then?

To be completely honest with you. I would not recommend. Too many negative facts.

Such a shame because I really liked the hybrid aspect of the program! I attended the info session recently and def got a weird vibe off the faculty? Like a little standoffish? But I thought it was just me.

That's exactly how I feel. I would not generalize because some of them are extremity nice and very professional. But unfortunately, they're not doing anything about this situation. This same professor changed the grading scale last semester, literally 2 days before the final, so one student ended up appealing, and he had to fix everyone's grade afterwards, it was a big mess.

I'm sorry your going through this/: but you got this! And thank you for looking out for potential applicants 🙏 it's hard to find real feedback regarding these programs sometimes.

Most CRNA programs don't even allow one C so it's pretty lenient of Keiser to allow one C and still allow students to continue through the program.

Does anyone know how many people they accept for each cohort? Since they have two start dates each year, does it mean that it will be a small cohort for each year?
