Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Graduate/Professional Degree Programs 2024–2025 205 • For information regarding grade replacement and remediation for M.S. in Foundational and Integrated Medical Sciences students, refer to section 4. Course Remediation on page 283. Students must gain prior approval of the equivalency of the course before enrollment. In cases where students believe courses to be identical, although the course number or title may differ, it will be necessary to obtain validation from the department offering the course. Please note that the program follows the NSU Standards of Academic Progress (SAP) and the Grading Policy. Visit nova.edu/financialaid/eligibility/satisfactory-academic-progress.html for more information. Repeated coursework does affect SAP measures. All repeated courses must be counted toward the maximum time frame, which could negatively affect the student’s eligibility for financial aid. Questions regarding satisfactory academic progress should be directed to the Office of Student Financial Assistance (nova.edu/financialaid/eligibility/satisfactory-academic-progress.html). The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will not pay for repeated courses if the previous grade met academic standards. Students should direct questions to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 5. Remediation Examinations and/or Coursework The student is responsible for reading each course syllabus and complying with the policies as stated. The examination and/or coursework policies will pertain to all makeup examinations. Remediation for failed courses will follow the Repeat Course/Grade Replacement and will be coordinated by the program director.
