College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Predoctoral Program 2025–2026 119 the course. The format of the reexamination may be of any exam type, at the discretion of the course director. Predoctoral students who fail three or more courses in a term may not be eligible for course remediation. Successful remediation of a failed course will result in the following grade changes: • For courses graded on a Pass/Fail basis, the course grade of F, will be changed to a grade of RP. • For courses and students graded on the alpha letter grade basis, the course grade of F will be changed to a maximum grade of C(E). Successful remediation of all failed courses must occur prior to the beginning of the fall semester of the next academic year. If a predoctoral student does not successfully remediate all course failures within this time frame (i.e., if the student fails a course remediation or does not complete remediation of a failed course), the SPC will review the student’s academic record and will recommend to the dean that one of the following actions be taken: a. The student will be dismissed from the CDM. b. T he student will be required to repeat the previous academic year in its entirety and pay full tuition for the repeated year. If a student is required to repeat an academic year, the student may not be promoted with the class and may become a member of the incoming years’ class (e.g., a D1 student required to repeat the D1 year may not be promoted to D2 and may be required to become a part of the incoming D1 class). If a predoctoral student is ineligible to remediate due to three course failures in a term, the SPC will review the student’s academic record and will recommend to the dean that one of the following actions be taken: a. The student will be dismissed from the CDM. b. The student will be required to repeat the previous academic year in its entirety and pay full tuition for the repeated year. Students repeating a failed course may not be permitted to remediate and take a reexamination if they fail the course again and may be dismissed from the college. Students who are required to repeat an academic year may be dismissed if they fail one or more courses during the repeated year without having an opportunity to remediate the failure(s). After a student successfully completes a repeated academic year, the policies described in this and all other sections of this student handbook that apply to all other predoctoral students will also apply to the repeat student. Students who fail three or more classroom/laboratory/clinical/clinical rotation/laboratory rotation courses during the entire term of their predoctoral program may be dismissed, regardless of whether or not they have successfully remediated any of these course failures. The SPC and the dean will always consider the predoctoral student’s entire CDM academic record when determining how the aforementioned policies apply to an individual student’s academic standing. Exceptions to any of these policies may be made at the discretion of the dean.
