Summary:
Students are expected to finish each semester with a GPA of at least 3.5. Single semester GPAs lower than 3.5 will trigger an automatic review by the Medical Scholars Committee for continuation in the program.
All students must adhere to and exhibit the high moral and ethical values of one entrusted with the privilege of studying and practicing medicine at all times during their undergraduate enrollment. Failure to do so will be cause for automatic dismissal from the program.
Students who are dismissed or wish to leave the program may continue in the Honors College provided they meet eligibility requirements.
