The students are required to complete the study plan prior to taking the third and final COMSAE. Failure to achieve at least a minimum score of 450 on the third and final administration of the COMSAE will result in failure of the COM 6990 course, and those students will not be eligible to take the COMLEX Level 1. Students who fail the COM 6990 course for the first time will retake the course, which will provide three separate opportunities to achieve at least a minimum score of 450 in the same manner as prescribed for the first attempt at COM 6990. Students who fail the COM 6990 course for the first time will not be eligible to start rotations until successful completion of the COM 6990 course. However, all students will still be required to attend their core site orientation. Students who fail the course a second time will be referred to the SPC and will be subject to dismissal. All students who achieve at least a minimum score of 450 on the COMSAE and are in good academic standing are eligible to take COMLEX Level 1. b.

A student who has failed COMLEX Level 1 for the first time will be removed from clinical rotations and placed on a mandatory administrative break in enrollment for an 8-week period of time for board study. A student who has not yet used the vacation block, may use it for 4 of the 8 weeks of the mandatory administrative break in enrollment.
