Academic Probation

Progression in the Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) program is contingent on continued demonstration of satisfactory completion of program objectives and course content. Lack of academic progression will result in the student being placed on academic probation and may be grounds for academic dismissal (see Dismissal).

Students who fail any course(s) in the DMSc program are automatically placed on academic probation until they have successfully passed the failed course(s). A student who believes that a course grade does not accurately reflect their performance must attempt to resolve the matter with the faculty member within two weeks from posting of the final grade in Self Service. If the student and faculty member are unable to reach a solution, then the student may request grade mediation (see Grade Mediation Policy).
