"Second Chance" Policy
Policy
The Second Chance Policy applies to all courses except case studies and clerkships. A doctor of pharmacy student, if eligible, may take a single comprehensive examination to demonstrate competency in that course providing that:
- The student has passed 50% or more of the major assessments in that course
- The student has earned a final grade of 66-69% in the course, and
- The student has not exceeded the number of second chance attempts as outlined below.
A student may invoke the Second Chance Policy in a maximum of two courses per semester, and no more than four times total in his/her career at the School. No student may invoke the second chance exam for the same course twice. The second chance assessment shall occur in a timely fashion, the timing at the discretion of the course team.
