College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Predoctoral Program 2024–2025 119 within this time frame (i.e., if the student fails a course remediation or does not complete remediation of a failed course), the SPC will review the student’s academic record and will recommend to the dean that one of the following actions be taken: a. The student will be dismissed from the CDM. b. The student will be required to repeat the previous academic year in its entirety and pay full tuition for the repeated year. If a student is required to repeat an academic year, the student may not be promoted with the class and may become a member of the incoming years’ class (e.g., a D1 student required to repeat the D1 year may not be promoted to D2 and may be required to become a part of the incoming D1 class). If a predoctoral student is ineligible to remediate due to three course failures in a term, the SPC will review the student’s academic record and will recommend to the dean that one of the following actions be taken: a. The student will be dismissed from the CDM. b. The student will be required to repeat the previous academic year in its entirety and pay full tuition for the repeated year. Students repeating a failed course may not be permitted to remediate and take a reexamination if they fail the course again and may be dismissed from the college. Students who are required to repeat an academic year may be dismissed if they fail one or more courses during the repeated year without having an opportunity to remediate the failure(s). After a student successfully completes a repeated academic year, the policies described in this and all other sections of this student handbook that apply to all other predoctoral students will also apply to the repeat student. Students who fail three or more classroom/laboratory/clinical/clinical rotation/laboratory rotation courses during the entire term of their predoctoral program may be dismissed, regardless of whether or not they have successfully remediated any of these course failures. The SPC and the dean will always consider the predoctoral student’s entire CDM academic record when determining how the aforementioned policies apply to an individual student’s academic standing. Exceptions to any of these policies may be made at the discretion of the dean. 5. Makeup Examinations It is expected that all students take examinations, quizzes, and other required assignments at the scheduled date and time. Makeup examinations and quizzes for excused absences will be offered to students who have submitted the appropriate documentation and have received approval by Office for Admissions, Student Affairs and Services, and/or the Office for Academic Affairs. For each student, no more than three makeup examinations in the D.M.D. program will be allowed during a given semester. If more than three makeup examinations are requested, the student will be required to provide official documentation, as determined by the D.M.D. program, that supports continuation in the D.M.D. curriculum or warrants an administrative break in enrollment. The student will be required to take a makeup examination during the following 10 business days from the scheduled exam (excluding official school holidays and weekends). Failure to take a scheduled makeup exam will result in a grade of 0 (zero) for that missed exam. For didactic courses, makeup examinations may be of any format/exam type, at
