Rotation Failures, Reevaluation, Remediation, and Dismissal Appeal Process In the event of failure in, or dismissal from, any rotation, the dean of the KPCOM, in consultation with the chair of the relevant department and the SPC, will review the situation and render a decision on the student’s status. Consistent with the KPCOM Student Handbook, a student who fails any of the following during the M3 and M4 years may be suspended and subject to dismissal: • two four-week rotations • two two-week rotations • one single rotation, two times Only one opportunity will be allowed to a student to remediate a failed rotation.

Leave of Absence (LOA) An LOA is a university-approved temporary period of time during which the student is not in attendance but is not considered withdrawn from the university. Students who experience extenuating and unavoidable circumstances that prevent them from maintaining an active status through continuous enrollment must consult with the Office of Student Affairs to determine whether their circumstances warrant an LOA request and to discuss the impacts of an approved LOA on their degree/program completion, academic standing, course grades, and conditions for return. Financial aid recipients who wish to request an LOA must also consult with a financial aid counselor to learn about impacts on their financial aid eligibility.
