10.4.3 College of Medicine

[US: 3/10/86; 5/9/2011; 12/14/2016: 4/23/2018]

All professional program (MD degree) courses in the College of Medicine will determine a level of competency. Students will receive one of the grades below.

E          Represents failure to achieve competency and unacceptable performance in a pass/fail course.

P          Represents achievement of competency and a passing grade in a pass/fail course.

W         Denotes withdrawal from the college or from an elective course. W must be approved or recommended by the Student Progress and Promotion Committee. Withdrawal from a required course is not permitted, except when a student withdraws from the college. A student may withdraw from an elective and the W will remain on the record.

I           Represents incomplete work at the time grades are submitted for courses. It is conferred only when there is a reasonable possibility that achievement of competency will be demonstrated upon completion of the work. All I grades in required courses must be replaced by a passing grade before a student can be promoted to a subsequent year. If a student later withdraws from the College, an outstanding 'I' grade can revert to a W grade at the discretion of the Student Progress and Promotion Committee.
