Academic Standing and Due Process Policies and Procedures Student Progress and Advising Committee (SPAC) The Student Progress and Advising Committee (SPAC) is charged by the dean to monitor student academic and professional standards as determined by the faculty members for the M.D. program. The SPAC reviews and determines what, if any, remediation or other adverse action (probation, suspension, dismissal) is appropriate in response to a student’s academic deficiencies. The SPAC reviews students’ academic performance after each grading period and upon receipt of scores on all required national exams, and determines each student’s academic standing. The dean may also request the committee to review any issue pertaining to a student’s evaluation and/or performance. Students in good standing, who have passing grades and satisfactory competency assessments, automatically advance to the next unit of instruction. Students not in good standing must meet with the committee. Each year, the committee also endorses the graduation of all students who have successfully completed all graduation requirements. Student Monitoring Subcommittee (SMS) The Student Monitoring Subcommittee (SMS) is a subcommittee of the SPAC. The SMS reviews and tracks the progress of students through the NSU MD curriculum and reports its findings to the SPAC and the OSA.
