Regarding Academic Condition

At the end of each semester the academic performance of the student will be evaluated and their academic condition will be determined, which could be: normal, probatory, or academic probation.

Normal Condition

All students who obtain a semester and an accumulated a GPA equal or greater than 2.0 in the program and that have received passing grades in at least sixty six percent of all credits attempted will be considered in Normal Condition.

Academic Probation

Students on Academic Probation are those students who:

a) Once the second semester is finished have a semester or accumulated GPA between 1.0 (60) and 1.9 (68);
b) Once the second semester is finished have a semester GPA of less than 1.0 (60), but an accumulated GPA of 2.5 (75) or above.

Probation

Students on Probation are those students who at the half-point of their medical program attain an accumulated GPA of under two points (70) and/or fails to approve sixty-six percent of the credits attempted.

If the student at the end of the following semester does not have the required GPA and/or fails to approve sixty-six percent of the credits attempted, normally will be dismissed from the program.
The student may appeal to the appropriate authorities the dismissal from the program due to failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress alleging situations outside the student’s control, illness, or a family emergency and showing that a tangible effort has been made that suggests the student will be able to obtain the minimum required GPA the following term. In that case a second term on probation may be granted.

If the student does not attain the required level of satisfactory academic progress after a second period of probatory, normally that student will be dismissed from the program.

Incompletes

In those cases where a student of otherwise adequate performance has not been able to fulfill the requirements necessary to approve the subject, the professor will be able to provisionally assign a mark of (I).

The mark of incomplete must be removed no later than one week after the end of classes. Normally the maximum time to remove an incomplete one will be two weeks. In the case that an incomplete is not removed within the allotted time period, an officer of the Registrar will assign a grade of zero (failed). In case the subject is a prerequisite of another one where the student already has registered, normally said subject will be dropped.
