Grading and Progression

Grading and Progression Policy

This policy comprehensively defines the ways that medical students’ academic performance is assessed across the MD program and details requirements and procedures including progression, grade determination, remediation in the Preclerkship Phase, Incomplete grades across all phases, and USMLE examination timelines.

Grade Appeals Policy

Students may appeal a final course grade within 10 business days of receipt if they believe it does not accurately represent their performance. The appeal process first involves the course director and then, if necessary, the Associate Dean for Curricular Affairs, whose determination is final.
