KPCOM - Student Handbook 2023-2024

Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2023–2024 145 A student withdrawing from the college will be withdrawn from all courses for which the student is registered but has not completed. 2. Withdrawal from a Course Withdrawal from a course or courses must be distinguished from withdrawal from the college (see Withdrawal from College section). Students may not elect to withdraw from any required course. However, withdrawal from a course or courses may be required by the college (see Leave of Absence section). A student withdrawing from a course will receive a W on the student’s transcript if no graded coursework has been completed, a WP if graded work has been taken and completed at a passing level, or a WF if the withdrawal occurred while the student was failing completed coursework. A student withdrawing from a clinical rotation will receive a W on the student’s transcript if the rotation has not been completed, a WP if the rotation has been completed and some of the requirements (documentation, COMAT exam) have been completed at a satisfactory level, or a WF if the rotation has been completed and some of the requirements (documentation, COMAT exam) have been completed but at an unsatisfactory level. Students are required to be actively involved in all courses they are registered in. During the first two weeks of each term, KPCOM faculty members will reconcile their course registration with those attending class. Students who are not attending classes, and therefore not included in the roster reconciliation, will be reported to the Office of the University Registrar and will be notified that they will be withdrawn from those courses. In all cases of course withdrawal, students must repeat the course in its entirety and will receive their earned grade for the course. Until the course is repeated, students may not progress to the next class year of study. Code of Behavioral Conduct Students are required to know and adhere to both the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine’s Code of Behavioral Conduct and the NSU Code of Student Conduct and Academic Responsibility. The dean of the college has established the following code of conduct (the code), which shall apply to all students enrolled in the college. It is not possible to enumerate all forms of inappropriate behavior, some of which could raise serious questions concerning a student’s ability to continue in the academic program or to practice after graduation. Below, however, are the general rules and policies that shall apply to all students.
