Pass/Fail Grades (P, F) including Pass with Honors (PH) Some preclinical courses are graded Pass/Fail or Pass/Fail/Pass with Honors. The requirements for achieving Pass or Pass with Honors for those courses will be included in the course syllabus. Clinical rotations are graded Pass/Fail/Pass with Honors without numerical designation. The requirements for achieving Pass or Pass with Honors for clinical rotations is included in this handbook, under Clinical Rotation Grading. In Progress Coursework (IP) Students who have not completed the required coursework by the end of the semester or term may be assigned an in progress (IP) grade. For an in progress grade to be assigned, the student must have completed a substantial portion (to be determined by the course director/rotation preceptor in consultation with the Office of Preclinical Education or the Office of Clinical Education respectively) of the course or rotation. A change of grade form, completed by the course director, will be necessary to change an IP to the final grade earned. The time limit for changing the in progress grade to the final grade earned may not exceed one calendar year or graduation, whichever comes first. Withdrawal (W/WP/WF) (See Withdrawal from Course section.) 3. Preclinical Grade Calculations If a letter-graded course is failed and subsequently passed by remediation examination, the remediation grade of C(E) will be issued and a numerical grade of 70 will be used to calculate all grade point averages for class ranking. If a Pass/Fail course is subsequently passed by remediation, the remediation grade of RP will replace the F, but will not be included in grade point average calculations. In the event a course and the remediation attempts are failed, or the remediation examinations are not taken, the original failing course grade shall be recorded on the transcript. If a course is repeated and passed, it will be noted on the transcript and the new grade earned will be recorded. The original
