Grading for Transitions in the First 100 Weeks

Students earn a designation of Meets Expectations, Meets Expectations with Recommendations, or Does Not Meet Expectations for the grading elements listed below which is based upon a pre-specified standard.

1. Attendance
2. Timely completion of assignments and evaluations

A final grade of Pass is determined by standards pre-specified by the standard-setting committee.

If a student earns a designation of either Meets Expectations or Meets Expectations with Recommendations for each grading element in the course, the student will earn a final grade of Pass for the course.

If a student earns a designation of Does Not Meet Expectations 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 grade of Conditional Pass and will be required to reassess the grading element(s) that did not meet the passing standard to be eligible for advancement. 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 designation of Does Not Meet Expectations 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 advance to the next year of training. 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 designation of Does Not Meet Expectations on one or more grading elements, the student will receive a final course grade of Fail and will be considered for dismissal from the MD program.
