Enrollment
While the program is primarily designed for full-time study, students can enroll in the program either on a full- or a part-time basis. Full-time students typically attend the program for six quarters over two academic years, with a summer break. Part-time students typically take two classes per quarter. The program must be completed within a five-year time limit unless the student is granted a waiver by program officials.

Academic Progression
All students in the Department of Health Systems Management must achieve a grade point average of 3.0 (A = 4.0) each quarter to maintain satisfactory academic status. A student is placed on academic probation when his or her grades fall below a quarterly or cumulative GPA average of 3.0 or when a student receives a grade of "F" in any course. A student on academic probation remains on probation until he/she has met the requirements established by the program for removal from academic probation.
