The SVM has specified the following academic standards, which all applicants/students are expected to meet in order to participate in the veterinary medical education program and the subsequent practice of veterinary medicine.
The relevant committee and/or panel within the SVM reserves the right to place on MAS or nonacademic probation, suspension, or recommend for withdrawal or dismissal of all students whose conduct, health, or academic performance would appear to render students unfit for the practice of veterinary medicine.
While on MAS, PAF or nonacademic probation, the performance of the students must improve in accordance with the specific written instructions given to them by the relevant entity or they risk dismissal.
