WCU-COM:

"Students failing to achieve a passing score on COMLEX Level 1 will be permitted to matriculate to third-
year rotations but will be required to pass COMLEX Level 1 prior to June 1 at the commencement of
their fourth academic year. Failure to achieve a passing score will result in the removal of the student
from clinical rotations. The student then may be allowed to participate in an independent study program
until a passing score has been received by WCU-COM. During this period of independent study, the
student will be relieved of clinical rotation responsibilities. The student will be allowed to return to
clinical rotations only after a passing score has been received by WCU-COM. Exact placement will be
determined by the Associate Dean, Clinical Sciences to meet the graduation curricular requirements"

and transfer policy:

"WCU-COM does not encourage transfers; however, in special circumstances transfers will be considered.
In accordance with the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and Southern Association of Colleges
ad Schools (SACS) standards, the transfer student must matriculate at WCU-COM for at least two
academic years. "

I'm gonna bet that "special circumstances" doesn't involve taking Level 1 four times. They are probably referring to things like moving closer to an ill family member, being near a spouse, etc.

Also I don't think the OP ever said which school she went to. The TCOM reference was from group_theory posting random school's policies.
