General Description of Academic Progress

The School of Medicine faculty has specified the following standards that all Pre-clinical Program students are expected to meet in order to participate in the Pre-clinical Program. The School reserves the right to issue a warning, place on monitored academic status (MAS), suspend, or dismiss a student whose conduct or performance renders the student unable to meet the required standards.

The appropriate Committee for Satisfactory Academic Progress and Professional Standards (CAPPS) determines such actions. While on nonacademic probation, students’ performance must improve in accordance with the specific written instructions given to students by CAPPS, or they risk a recommendation of dismissal by the CAPPS.
