<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The student must maintain, in required courses, a cumulative grade point average on exams of '''78%''' in order to progress. The weighted average of all tests and examinations will be calculated first. If the average of test and exam grades is less than '''78%''', that will be the course grade. If this score is greater than or equal to '''78%''', then other evaluation scores will be added and the resulting average must be '''78%''' or greater in order to pass. Only the final course score will be subject to mathematical rounding to the nearest whole number.</li> | <li style="margin-bottom:15px;">The student must maintain, in required courses, a cumulative grade point average on exams of '''78.0%''' in order to progress.

Test/exams are defined as 50 or more questions that evaluate the application of content from this course and previous coursework to patient situations. Each didactic course will give a minimum of 2 tests/exams. <br /><br /> | Test/exams are defined as 50 or more questions that evaluate the application of content from this course and previous coursework to patient situations.

If a student misses the scheduled test/exam, the faculty reserves the right to prepare a test in an alternate form such as essay, short answer and multiple choice. The test/exam should be worth the same number of points as the original. The date and time will be determined by the course coordinator/instructor. <br /><br /> | If a student misses the scheduled test/exam, the faculty reserves the right to prepare a test in an alternate form such as essay, short answer and multiple choice.
