The School of Medicine reserves the right to withhold the BS degree from any candidate whom the Student Academic Progress Committee has not recommended for graduation on grounds of moral or ethical unfitness for the profession of medicine.

Students have the right to appeal denial of graduation decisions to the Dean of the CUNY School of Medicine (see “Appeals Procedure,"). A student who refuses to accept the official notification letter loses the right to appeal the decision.
