a. Continue on Monitored Academic Status (MAS)
Students will be allowed to continue in the MD program, despite failing to meet satisfactory academic performance, if the following conditions are met:
- No previous F grade in any course in the program.
- No more than one of the following:
- Credit Remediation option (CR) or
- Leave of Absence (LOA)
The student will be given an opportunity to repeat the failed course in the ITI delivery format and will be placed on MAS.
The student will be permitted to register for the course a second time and to earn a second grade for the course. The grade and credits earned on both the first and the second attempt at a course will be calculated into the cumulative Weighted Mean Percentage Grade (WMPG). The grade earned on the second attempt does not replace the grade earned on the first attempt.
b. Recommended for Dismissal
Students will be recommended for dismissal if any one of the following applies to them:
- Two of the following timeline delays in any combination:
- prior Credit Remediation option (CR)
- prior Leave of Absence (LOA)
- One of the following:
- Previous CR in the failed course
- Previous F grade in any course > 4 credits
- The student has exceeded or will exceed the 6 year maximum allowable timeline for completing the MD Program.
All students who are recommended for dismissal have the opportunity to appeal to the CAPPS, as per the section on REVIEW, DISMISSAL AND APPEAL PROCESS. Students preparing their appeal and related documentation should note that this is the only opportunity to appeal the recommendation for dismissal. Therefore, any student recommended for dismissal is required to meet with the Dean of Students for guidance on the appeal process.
