This Committee reviews all transcripts, records and reports to determine if the student has fulfilled all academic requirements, has maintained the standards of ethical, moral, personal and professional conduct required for the continued study of osteopathic medicine, and is considered mentally and emotionally fit to become a physician. The Faculty will entertain a motion to approve the candidates, and submit the list to the Board for approval. Students are considered for promotion one academic year at a time. Eligibility for promotion to the next higher academic year or to start clinical rotations is determined by the student s successful completion of the appropriate academic, professional, and financial requirements of the College. Students with failures or incompletes are not eligible for promotion.
Examinations There are two semesters and a summer term in an academic year.
Students are evaluated on the basis of their performance on assignments as well as on their achievements on regularly scheduled written and practical examinations. The committee determines the student s eligibility for promotion or graduation. This average is only one criterion for academic probationary status. A student who has been placed on probation is precluded from active participation in College-sponsored extracurricular events or organizations, and may not hold the position of class officer or club officer. The record of each student will be reviewed after each testing period.
