Please check ACOM remediation policy before accepting it. It’s devastating as lots of class 2028 students are dismissed

 

[Goro]

Could you kindly let us know what it is?

 

[medcrazy71]

If you can’t pass the remediation course/system by any chance then it’s an automatic dismissal . You cant repeat the medical school next year. At that point you are left in the middle of ocean

Is this if you fail two courses simultaneously? Or if you just fail one course?

Dismissal
Dismissal is the permanent termination of a student’s enrollment at ACOM without eligibility to
reenter. The Associate Dean of Student Services has the authority to dismiss a student with
consent from the Compliance Officer. A student subject to Dismissal is not in Good Standing, and any Dismissal decision will be noted
on the student’s permanent academic record. A dismissed student must return student
identification and must complete a final checkout procedure with Student Services.


Academic Dismissal
A student may be subject to Academic Dismissal due to persistent poor academic performance,
including but not limited to the following conditions:
 Failing two (2) courses in the same term.
 Failing a course or clerkship rotation while on Academic Probation.
 Failing a remediation.
 Failing a repeated course or clerkship rotation.

Disciplinary Dismissal
A student may be subject to Disciplinary Dismissal due to persistent or significant poor conduct
or disciplinary issues that deviate from ACOM’s expectations of ethical behavior or professional
conduct. These include, but are not limited to, gross, severe, repeated, or illegal conduct or
behavior.

Guidelines For Academic Progress
ACOM’s overarching goal is to ensure that every ACOM graduate has the skills, knowledge, and
judgment to assume the responsibilities of and to perform successfully as an osteopathic
physician. The Associate Dean of Student Services will monitor each student’s academic
progress and ensure that each student is on track to meet the College’s requirements for
academic promotion and graduation. When the Associate Dean of Student Services determines
that a student is or may be off track such that the student may not be able to achieve academic
progress or satisfy the graduation requirements, the Associate Dean will take appropriate action,
including for any of the following reasons:
 A student fails to meet the academic standards set forth in a course, system, or clerkship
rotation.
 A student is performing at a level that places them at risk for academic failure.
 A student fails or is at risk of failing any level of COMLEX-USA.
 A student is failing to meet any other standards required for academic promotion or
graduation.
 A student is failing to complete assignments for any course or clerkship rotation.
The Associate Dean of Student Services generally will follow the Guidelines for Academic
Failures below when evaluating a student’s academic performance in the Pre-Clinical and
Clinical curriculums. ACOM recognizes that special circumstances may impact a student’s
academic performance, such as a death in the student’s family or personal illness. A student
experiencing such special circumstances is encouraged to discuss these issues at the earliest
opportunity with the Associate Dean of Student Services, who retains the discretion to consider
them in the application of these guidelines.

If the above is still the grading process. Then I dont think its that bad?

 

[medcrazy71]

There is no repeat option if student wants to redo the year as the particular option is available for most other DO schools but not ACOM
