The Student Evaluation and Promotions Committee is responsible for developing and implementing promotion policies and procedures for student evaluation in all phases of the curriculum; for monitoring students’ progress through the entire curriculum; for promoting students from one phase of the curriculum to the next; for recommending students for graduation; for identifying and dealing with all cases of academic deficiency, including issuing warnings, placing students on probation, granting or denying re-examination, requiring students to withdraw, recommending re-admission and when necessary, expelling students from the School.

The existing guidelines for promotions were drafted in the late 1960’s at a time when there was a perception that promotion was decided too rigidly. Previous to this time, failure of a single course such as anatomy or biochemistry could result in dismissal. The new guidelines allowed multiple failures to be made up in one way or another.
