A minimum grade of C is required in all Nuclear Medicine courses and prerequisite support course work as well as all clinical proficiencies attached to each course. All students must achieve a final test average of 75% or higher. Failure to do so will result in failure in the course.
In general, satisfactory completion of courses in one semester is required prior to enrolling in subsequent semesters. Failure to make a minimum grade of C in any required nuclear medicine course will prevent the student from progressing in the program. Students who fail one or more courses in the program must make application to the nuclear medicine program to continue. The student’s overall academic achievement will be considered in the decision to be retained or to be placed on enforced withdrawal from the nuclear medicine program.
