SVM Catalogue 2012-2013 - St. George's University

Grading Policy
The grading policy for the DVM/MSc and MSc program
in the SVM is as defined by the rules and regulations
governing all graduate degrees at the SGU by the Graduate
Studies Program (GSP).
Satisfactory Academic
Progress
For a student to maintain academic standing, a grade
point average of at least 3.0 (B average) and a P grade in
all pass/fail courses must be maintained throughout their
MSc curriculum. In addition, a student in the DVM/MSc
program is expected to maintain at least a 3.0 (B average)
and a P grade in all pass/fail courses throughout their
DVM curriculum.
Academic Progress Review
A student’s academic progress is evaluated by the
Academic Progress Committee under the Dean of Students
at the end of each term (May and December).
Timeline for Completion
The time limit for completion of all MSc requirements
for DVM/MSc students and part-time MSc students (e.g.
faculty members) is 5½ years from matriculation into the
program and 2½ years for a full-time MSc student. A
student who exceeds this time limit may appeal once for an
extension to the Dean of Graduate Studies, who will consult
with the Supervisory Committee.
Requirements for Graduation
The student will be deemed to have fulfilled all the
requirements for the DVM/MSc or MSc degree after
successfully completing at least 34 credits with a
cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 (B average). Commencement
will be held in May each year.
Schedules
Schedules will vary according to the chosen major and the
time of entry into the program. Individual schedules will be
designed by the Supervisory Committee in consultation
with the student. A DVM/MSc student may have to spend
one term in addition to the six DVM terms in Grenada, and
will spend part of the summer breaks to complete course
and/or research work.
