Schedule Changes and Dropping Courses

Students must follow the prescribed Sophie Davis Biomedical Education Program curriculum as scheduled, or consult their about appropriate adjustments to the curriculum. A student's schedule may be altered by the SAPC, Student Affairs/Department Medical education following evaluation of academic progress and course Many courses are prerequisites and serve as foundation for subsequent courses, and changes to a student’s academic program must adhere to these requirements. A student who wishes to postpone or drop a course or take any course out of order must first obtain written permission from the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.

A student will not be permitted to drop a course that the student is repeating, except under unusual circumstances and only after consultation with the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. A student who drops any required course (including a course needed to fulfill the electives requirement) or who does not take a course by the time it is scheduled, risks jeopardizing his or her academic progress and standing.

Each student must successfully complete all courses required for graduation to be eligible to receive the BS degree (for details see "Requirements for the Awarding of the Baccalaureate degree").
