recommend to the Campus Dean that the student be required to repeat the rotation in the same specialty as the failed clinical rotation with a different preceptor (the repeated rotation requires all components of the rotation to be repeated) and place the student on academic probation for no less than 1 calendar year. B. Regardless of whether the student is on Academic Probation or not, if the student has more than one clinical rotation failure (either for failure of the clinical rotation performance evaluation or failure of an end-of-rotation exam within the same discipline twice), the Promotion Board may recommend to the Campus Dean any of the following (students with more than one clinical rotation failure are generally recommend for dismissal): • Require the student to repeat the rotation in the same specialty as the failed clinical rotation with a different preceptor (the repeated rotation requires all components of the rotation to be repeated); or • Require the student to repeat the rotation in the same specialty as the failed clinical rotation with a different preceptor (the repeated rotation requires all components of the rotation to be repeated) and require the student to complete any other additional rotations or additional coursework (with assessment) the Promotion Board believes essential to the student making future academic progress and extend the student’s academic probation for no less than 1 calendar year (this will result in an Altered Degree Plan of Study and will extend the academic year, as the student may not complete the work while on another rotation); or • Allow the student to repeat a portion of an academic year or the entire academic year and place the student on academic probation for no less than 1 calendar year; or • Dismiss the student if the collective performance shows failure to make academic progress.
