Monitored Academic Status (MAS)

Monitored Academic Status is an internal marker placed in students’ progress files by the Academic Progress Review Committee (APRC) . It allows students who are at risk of not making satisfactory academic progress, to continue in the program with additional academic advising. Students are placed on MAS throughout the academic program if they meet any of these conditions:

  1. Failing a Term 1-5 course
  2. Requiring an extra term to complete the Basic Sciences program (CR, LOA)
  3. Requiring extra time to transition to or complete Clinical Studies

Students on MAS are assessed, supported and monitored by the Academic Advising and Development Support (AADS) for the duration of the MD program.  They will be required to meet regularly with their assigned Academic Advisor who will assess and monitor their progress and make referrals to relevant support services. Students placed on MAS remain on MAS for the duration of the MD program.
