Grading for the Acting Internships in the Second 100 Weeks

Each grading element is assigned a grade of Honors, High Pass, Pass, or Fail. 

1. Clinical Assessment of Student
2. Multi-source Assessment of Student, as applicable

A final grade of Honors, High Pass, or Pass is determined by standards pre-specified by the standard setting committee and the Acting Internship Director.

If a student earns a grade of Fail on one or more grading element(s) in the course but the student does not meet criteria to fail the course, as set by the standard setting committee, the student will earn a temporary designation of Conditional Pass and will be required to reassess the grading elements that did not meet the passing standard to be eligible for graduation. For more information on reassessment requirements and procedures, please refer to the Policy on Reassessment.

In the first attempt of a course, if a student earns a grade of Fail on one or more grading element(s) in the course and the student meets criteria to fail the course, the student will earn a final course grade of Fail and will be required to remediate (repeat and pass) the course to be eligible for graduation. The opportunity to remediate will be subject to the decision of the Student Advancement Committee. In the second attempt of a course, if a student earns a grade of Fail on one or more grading elements, the student will earn a final course grade of Fail and the school’s expectation is that the student will be dismissed from the MD program, pending the Student Advancement Committee’s recommendation.

If a student earns a final grade of Fail, the student will not earn credit towards graduation requirements.
