Students who fail or withdraw from a course or courses during the program will be required to withdraw from the program at once.
Failing or withdrawing students should recognize that there is no guarantee of the opportunity to repeat. Demand for seats is such that space for course repeaters is unlikely to be available.
A student who has previously failed in a health-related program and who subsequently applies for admission to the same program or to another health-related program will be regarded as a repeating student, unless he/she can show cause for being treated as a new student.
When the number of repeating student applicants for a program exceeds the number of available seats, the student(s) admitted will be those who achieved the highest cumulative GPA over courses listed in the program matrix. The relevant department may require potential repeating students to challenge certain portions of courses in which they previously received credit, in order that the currency of practical skills can be assessed. All potential repeating students are reminded that they are subject to program completion-time requirements.
A student who receives a failing grade in a course for failure to meet objectives related to professional responsibility, professional accountability or patient safety may be refused re-admission to the program, (or another health-related program) at the recommendation of the Department Chairperson and the approval of the Divisional Dean.
