19 August 2006 FINAL

 

TO:  Roger Barber, Associate Commissioner of Higher Education for Academic Affairs and Student Services

FROM:  Vernon L. Pedersen, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Student Services, Montana State University Great Falls

RE:  Lazarus Action on Physical therapy Assistant Program

 

MSU-Great Falls wishes to remove the moratorium it placed on its Physical Therapy Assistant Program in November of 2003.  MSU-Great Falls placed the program in moratorium because the institution was unable to hire a Program Director that met the criteria stipulated by the program's accrediting agency the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTA). CAPTA has been consulted regarding the restoration of the program's accreditation upon receipt of a written request and payment of back fees.
