9.2.2. Minimum Grade Point Average/Academic Probation
Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 each semester to remain in good academic standing. If a student’s GPA falls below a 3.0 at the end of any semester, the student will receive a written academic warning issued by the Program Director and be placed on academic probation. A student placed on academic probation is required to meet with their faculty advisor within 10 business days of receipt of the academic warning and design a plan for academic support and remediation. The plan must be approved by the Student Development Committee and Program Director. Students on academic probation must achieve a cumulative 3.0 GPA by the end of the following semester or they will be subject to dismissal from the Program.
Students must have a cumulative 3.0 GPA at the completion of the pre-clinical phase of the Program, prior to entering the clinical clerkships. If a student has not achieved this standard, a recommendation may be made for dismissal from the Program or the student may be required to complete remedial activities as approved by the Student Development Committee and the Program Director. These may include, but are not limited to, repetition of courses or independent study. Remedial activities will be designed in collaboration with the student and his or her faculty advisor. Providing the option of remediation and all remedial plans and the timeline for completion of the remediation are subject to the approval of the Student Development Committee. If a student does not complete the agreed upon remediation within the specified time, s/he will be subject to dismissal from the program.
