must receive final approval from the Campus Dean. Approval must be granted prior to the student being released to schedule the next attempt. o Students who fail COMLEX Level 2 CE have two options for remediation:  Option 1: Attend a VCOM approved external immersion program.  External immersion programs are generally held for a period of 4 – 6 weeks. Students typically need an additional 4 weeks of independent study following the immersion program before they feel ready to sit for the exam.  Students who choose to attend a VCOM approved external immersion program are enrolled in VCOM’s National Board Preparation course. Students may not be enrolled in the course for longer than 60 days.  Attendance in an external immersion program may require the cancellation of not more than two rotations in order to complete the program and take the exam. Students whose rotations are delayed due to attending an external immersion program will be placed on an Altered Degree Plan of Study (ADPOS).  In order to be released to sit for an additional attempt of COMLEX Level 2 CE, students 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 the prescribed remediation plan as designed in order to be allowed to sit for an additional attempt of COMLEX Level 2 CE, 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 retake COMLEX Level 2 CE and approving the students’ testing date.  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.  Those students who do not choose to attend an external immersion program and who choose to follow a VCOM-directed study plan will continue to study for their next attempt of COMLEX Level 2 CE while they are on clinical rotations.  In order to be released to sit for an additional attempt of COMLEX Level 2 CE, students 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 2 CE, which includes providing CIFSS with weekly updates regarding study plan progress and question bank performance.
