Policy
Student academic progress and academic standing levels will be monitored by the Preclinical Education and Student Affairs Departments. Students who earn a passing final grade in every administered course and meet expectations for professional conduct will be considered in “Good Academic Standing” and will be eligible to progress to the next phase of the curriculum, provided the student is not subject to any other restrictions or preconditions stating otherwise.
The Professionalism Committee may recommend an alternative academic status based on any violations of the Code of Student Conduct or professional conduct.
