Thread: what is your school's fail policy?

like at ross, if one fails, s/he has to repeat the entire semester. And s/he can't even drop a class if s/he even wants to.

so anyone can tell me about your school's fail policy?

You may change that attitude once you get here and take a few classes. I have seen alot of intelligent people who have failed a class (for example, the Pharmacology final is 50% of your grade....)...does this mean they won't become competent physicians?

People who fail multiple classes or exhibit a patter of academic deficiencies across the board are an entirely different story.

Aloha,

I agree. All I can say is this person might change their view when they take Physio I and Pharm. Also, you also need to consider that some people just don't have good test taking skills or may get test anxiety, but when they get to clinicals they are on top of the game.
