Procedure
If a preclinical student fails a course and receives approval to remediate the course failure, the student will work with the Director of Preclinical Education, the Course Director, and the Office of Testing to develop a remediation plan and schedule. Remediation examinations will be administered by the Office of Testing and will be proctored by an RVU employee or designee. Preclinical remediations must be completed by June 30 of the current academic year. Re-remediation is not allowed.
If a clinical student fails a clinical clerkship rotation, the student will be referred to the Student Performance Committee (SPC), which will result in a recommendation to the Dean. If the Dean’s decision is to allow remediation of the clinical clerkship, the student will work with the Assistant/Associate Dean of Clinical Education to develop a remediation plan for the failed clinical clerkship course. If the student fails the remediation, the student may be submit to dismissal.
Grading
A student who successfully remediates a course failure will have their transcript notated with the grade code of ‘NX’ for the original course failure and a grade of ‘PX’ to indicate successful remediation of the course.
Remediations must be successfully completed before a student can advance to the next stage of the curriculum. In the event the remediation of a course is failed or not completed, the original course grade shall be recorded on the transcript. A student who fails a remediation will be referred to the Student Performance Committee and may be subject to dismissal. Re-remediation is not allowed.
