Criteria for Retention in the Distance Education Dietetic Internship

A student needs to achieve a satisfactory (B-) grade in each course and at least a competent score in all core and emphasis competencies.

Failure to achieve a B- average will result in withdrawal of the student from the internship.

All students must make satisfactory progress through the program requirements. Students must complete each rotation within four months.

Program completion requirements

The DEDI requires 18 credits for completion. Students must demonstrate both academic and clinical competence. Students in addition to completing the four required courses with a B- or better grade must receive competent evaluation ratings (see evaluation) for all program competencies. Verification to CDR that the student has completed the program* may be delayed or withheld if a student in the opinion of the Marywood University staff or preceptors of the supervised practice affiliations, does not demonstrate entry level competence. Students will be provided with a signed verification statement after completion of all program requirements. This Verification Statement is necessary for eligibility to take the Registration examination.
