Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 128 achieving Pass or Pass with Honors for those courses will be included in the course syllabus. Clinical rotations are graded Pass/Fail/Pass with Honors without numerical designation. The requirements for achieving Pass or Pass with Honors for clinical rotations is included in this handbook, under Clinical Rotation Grading. In Progress Coursework (IP) Students who have not completed the required coursework by the end of the semester or term may be assigned an in progress (IP) grade. For an in progress grade to be assigned, the student must have completed a substantial portion (to be determined by the course director/rotation preceptor in consultation with the Office of Preclinical Education or the Office of Clinical Education respectively) of the course or rotation. A change of grade form, completed by the course director, will be necessary to change an IP to the final grade earned. The time limit for changing the in progress grade to the final grade earned may not exceed one calendar year or graduation, whichever comes first. Withdrawal (W/WP/WF) (See Withdrawal from Course section.) 3. Preclinical Grade Calculations If a letter-graded course is failed and subsequently passed by remediation examination, the remediation grade of C(E) will be issued and a numerical grade of 70 will be used to calculate all grade point averages for class ranking. If a Pass/Fail course is subsequently passed by remediation, the remediation grade of RP will replace the F, but will not be included in grade point average calculations. In the event a course and the remediation attempts are failed, or the remediation examinations are not taken, the original failing course grade shall be recorded on the transcript. If a course is repeated and passed, it will be noted on the transcript and the new grade earned will be recorded. The original failing course grade and the new passing course grade will appear on the transcript and both will be used to calculate grade point averages. Once passed, a course may not be repeated. 4. Preclinical Course Reexamination Reexamination may be offered to a student who has an academic deficiency caused by failing an examination, a part of an examination, a specific evaluation, or parts of a course. A student is permitted to take a reexamination only if specified in the course syllabus. The course grade will be calculated as specified in the specific course syllabus. A student who fails a reexamination and, as a result, fails the course, may have the opportunity to take a remediation examination, if eligible. 5. Preclinical Course Remediation Students who fail a course by earning a course grade of F, or not meeting all course requirements stated in the course syllabus, will be provided with an opportunity to remediate the course, if eligible (see section on Academic Deficiencies for specific guidelines on remediation).
