SGU SVM Degree Completion Requirement
In order to complete the DVM degree, SVM students must complete one of the two following requirements during Terms 7-9.
- Receive a passing score on the NAVLE® in the first testing window available to them. For students starting Term 7 in January/February of each calendar year, this would equate to the Spring NAVLE® testing window and for students starting Term 7 in May/June, this would be the Fall NAVLE® testing window.
- For students who do not take the NAVLE® in the first testing window or who receive a non-passing score on their first NAVLE® attempt, completion of the SVM Boards Success Seminar is required. This seminar series consists of online assignments and modules as well as individual and group sessions designed to enhance success on all licensing board exams. Completion of all required components of this seminar is required for graduation from the DVM program.
*Please note that students who do not plan to take the NAVLE® for licensure purposes will still be required to meet the above requirements to graduate.
