Midterm Warning Notices
Students not maintaining a passing-level grade at midterm time will be given a written warning notice. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the course instructor immediately to ascertain how the grade can be improved.
Academic Progression
High academic performance in required courses is expected. Students will be considered in good standing at Rush University unless placed on academic probation.
A cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 is required in the CLM program. Cumulative grade point averages will be reviewed after each quarter. The faculty reserves the right to request the withdrawal of a student whose conduct, health or performance demonstrates lack of fitness for continuance in a health profession. Any such student not voluntarily withdrawing will be dismissed from the University.
Academic Probation
Academic probation is assigned to any student who receives a quarterly grade point average below 3.0 or whose cumulative grade point average falls below 3.0. Students placed on probation have two quarters in which to regain the status of good standing as follows:
The next quarter after being placed on probation, the student must attain a quarterly grade point average of at least 3.0.
Two quarters after being placed on probation, the student must have a cumulative grade point average above 3.0.
Failure to make the minimum quarterly grade point average one quarter after probation or the minim
“C,” “D,” “F” or “N” Grades in the CLM Program
Students may not receive more than two grades of “C” or lower in the program. Should a student receive a third grade of “C” or lower, he or she will be dismissed from the program. Students who receive a “D,” “F” or “N” grade in any course must repeat that course. In the event that a student is required to repeat a course that is a prerequisite for an advanced course, the advanced course may not be taken until the student successfully passes the prerequisite course. Thus, the student’s progression in the program may be affected. Students who receive a second “D” or “F” grade in the same academic year will be dismissed from the program.
