VCOM College Catalog and Student Handbook

 Option 2: Follow a VCOM-directed study plan.

 The length and details of the study plan will be based on each student’s individual progress.  Students who choose to follow a VCOM-directed study plan will be placed on a Temporary Administrative Withdrawal on the first day of the regularly scheduled OMS 3 year and are not eligible for promotion to the OMS 3 year until they receive a passing score on COMLEX Level 1.  Students must sit for COMLEX Level 1 within 60 days of beginning their VCOM-directed study plan and have a passing COMLEX Level 1 score within 90 days in order to be promoted to the OMS 3 year. These students will not be eligible for re-enrollment or further financial aid until they pass COMLEX Level 1. - Upon receiving a passing score on COMLEX Level 1, the student 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 do not sit for COMLEX Level 1 within 60 days will remain on a Temporary Administrative Withdrawal until they receive a passing score. These students will not be eligible for re-enrollment or further financial aid until they pass COMLEX Level 1. • Temporary withdrawal may not exceed a 180-day limit. • Upon receiving a passing score within the 180-day limit, the student will be re-enrolled in the OMS 3-year curriculum. • Those students who do not pass COMLEX Level 1 within the 180-day limit will be dismissed by the Campus Dean.

 In order to be released to sit for COMLEX Level 1, the student must score 65% or greater on all-topic, timed question sets of at least 25 questions in TrueLearn for a minimum of 2 weeks immediately prior to their scheduled COMLEX Level 1 exam.  Students must follow and complete a prescribed remediation plan as designed in order to be released to sit for COMLEX Level 1, which includes providing CIFSS with weekly updates regarding study plan progress and question bank performance. VCOM will evaluate students’ completion of the prescribed remediation plan when determining students’ readiness to sit for COMLEX Level 1 and approving the students’ testing date.  Students who fail to participate in the prescribed remediation plan (which includes providing CIFSS with updates regarding study plan progress and question bank performance) or who have not participated in the required support meeting, will receive an “F” (Fail) grade for the course and be placed on a Temporary Administrative Withdrawal by the Campus Dean or will be referred by the Campus Dean to the Promotion Board for consideration for dismissal. 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.
