For the purposesof this policy, academic deficiencies refer to either an Unsatisfactory (U) or Incomplete (I) grade for a course or aclerkship. Consequences of academic deficiencies are described below. However, even without an academicdeficiency, a student with poor academic performance may incur consequences as severe as a recommendation fordismissal for failure to meet these requirements and standards. Decisions by the MSPPSC for promotion to the nextacademic year or for graduation from the College of Medicine are contingent upon the successful remediation of allacademic deficiencies and completion of all academic requirements.(1) One Deficiency in an Academic YearA student who has one deficiency (U or I grade) per year will be required to remediate the grade successfully prior topromotion to the next year. If the final grade earned in a course or clerkship is Unsatisfactory (U) or Incomplete (I), aformal plan (“Plan for Remediating Unsatisfactory Performance” for a grade of U, or “Plan for Completing CourseRequirements” for a grade of I), including expectations for work to be performed, student assessment, and timeperiod for the remediation, will be established by the course director, the student, and his/her Learning CommunityAdviser and submitted to the Senior Associate Dean for Student Affairs (SADSA), who will inform the MedicalStudents Promotions and Professional Standards Committee (MSPPSC). The plan may include, but is not limited to,additional study time and taking a make‐up exam, repeating all or part of a course or clinical clerkship, or repeatingthe academic year. The recommendation is submitted to the MSPPSC for action.If the student fails to successfully remediate, the student will receive a U in the course or clerkship and furtherremediation, if allowed, must be by repetition of the course or clerkship. A second grade of Unsatisfactory in the samerepeated course in years 1 and 2 may result in dismissal of the student from the College of Medicine M.D. program.54
