Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2025–2026 123 2. M3 and M4 Course Years of Study, Predoctoral Osteopathic Principles and Practice and Research Fellowships a. Good Academic Standing A student is considered in good academic standing when the student has completed and passed all required rotations and board examinations to date. b. Not in Good Academic Standing/Poor Academic Standing Students who fail one rotation or fail a COMLEX board examination will automatically lose their good academic standing and be placed on academic probation (see Academic Probation in this handbook for terms and restrictions). Upon notification of a failing rotation grade or COMLEX board examination, students must reach out to the Department of Medical Education to meet with an academic adviser. Academic advising is mandatory for students who are not in good academic standing. Students who fail to adhere to this policy will be referred to the Student Progress Committee for further action. Due to the complex scheduling involved in clinical rotations and COMLEX board examinations, students who have failed one clinical rotation in the M3 and M4 years will be allowed to continue with clinical rotations and will be allowed to take board examinations. Students not in good academic standing, due to having failed more than one rotation, will be referred to the Student Progress Committee (see Dismissal). Once the student has regained good academic standing, the student is removed from academic probation and returned to good academic standing. 3. Matriculation and Continuous Enrollment Students in the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program will be categorized as OMS1, OMS2, OMS3, or OMS4 based on their enrolled coursework. Once reaching the M4 course year of study, a student will remain an OMS4 student until all graduation requirements are met (see Educational Objectives and Graduation Requirements in this handbook) or until the student has reached the time limit for completing the D.O. program (see Graduation Requirements). Students who have met all graduation requirements, except for passing COMLEX Level 2-CE, will be placed on an Administrative Break in Enrollment (see Leave from Studies policy). In addition to every other month reports to the KPCOM Office of Student Affairs, these students must maintain contact with the Office of Clinical Education at least every other month regarding their progress in taking and passing the required board examination(s). 4. Satisfactory Academic Progress To be eligible for financial aid and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), an enrolled student must take a minimum of 6 credits per semester.
