Qualitative Deficiency

The APRC reviews all deficient grades, and appropriate avenues for remediation are determined for each student based on the guidelines provided herein.

Rule No.Description
1Students who receive a Satisfactory "S" grade in all course units will be in good academic standing.
2Academic advancement will be based on satisfactory grades ("S") in all courses in the SGU SVM curriculum.
3Students who receive an unsatisfactory "U" grade in either a course unit or a course will be in placed on MAS.
4MAS will continue for a minimum of one (1) term. The APRC can extend the duration of MAS based on individual student performance.
5Students who receive an unsatisfactory "U" grade in either a course unit(s) or in a course will require remediation.
6Students who receive an satisfactory "S" grade in a course unit(s) cannot opt to take a resit exam to "improve" the grade.
7Remediation of an unsatisfactory grade (ā€œUā€) may be by a re-sit examination, if permitted, or by repeating the course (following the guidelines listed below). Students have a maximum of three (3) resit examinations and a maximum of two (2) repeats during Terms 1-6. Exceeding this will lead to a recommendation for dismissal.
8Taking a re-sit examination counts as one remediation attempt. Obtaining an unsatisfactory grade ("U") on a re-sit examination automatically mandates a repeat of the course. Repeating the course will count as a second remediation
9The total number of remediations cannot exceed three (3) through Terms 1 to 6.
