If students are not making satisfactory academic progress, they may be placed on Monitored Academic Status (MAS).
MAS is an internal marker placed in students’ progress files by the APRC or the PCAPPS.
It allows students who do not meet the satisfactory academic progress guidelines to continue in the Pre-Clinical Program for one semester with a prescribed program of courses. Students may continue on MAS for an additional semester if the CAPPS or the APRC sees significant improvement. While on MAS, students are reviewed by the APRC each semester.
- Students on MAS must achieve the minimum GPA standards for their year and term within two semesters to avoid an automatic recommendation for dismissal.
- Students enrolled in the Year 1 or 2 of the Pre-Clinical Phase are placed on MAS if they earn a failing grade in any course or if their cumulative or term GPA is below 3.2.
- Students in Year 3 are placed on MAS if their Year 3 WMPG is below 80%, their Year 3 cumulative GPA is below 3.2, their Science GPA is below 2.75, or if they have D or F grades.
- Students are required to comply with the decisions and conditions stipulated by PCAPPS. There is no appeal of PCAPPS decisions or conditions.
