These students will not be released to sit for COMLEX Level 1 until the “F” grade is resolved, as they will not have successfully completed the OMS 2 year. o Students must complete the remediation plan and sit for COMLEX Level 1 prior to entering the OMS 3 year.  Those students who complete the remediation plan and sit for COMLEX Level 1 by the first day of the regularly scheduled OMS 3 year will receive a “P” (Pass) grade for the Comprehensive Review Course (provided they have met all other course requirements) and will be promoted to the OMS 3 year.  Those students who have not completed the plan and/or who have not sat for COMLEX Level 1 by the first day of the regularly scheduled OMS 3 year will receive an “INC” (Incomplete) grade for the course, will not be eligible for promotion to the OMS 3 year, and will be placed on a Temporary Administrative Withdrawal until they receive a passing COMLEX Level 1 score. These students will not be eligible for re-enrollment or further financial aid until they pass COMLEX Level 1.

 Once the student is temporarily withdrawn, they must sit for COMLEX Level 1 within 60 days of the first day of the regularly scheduled OMS 3 year and have a passing COMLEX Level 1 score within 90 days in order to be promoted to the OMS 3 year.
