WHAT IS THE SCHOOL'S POLICY ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT?
Our institution is committed to supporting students in achieving their academic and professional goals. We have a policy in place to help students improve their performance if they encounter challenges. This policy typically includes academic advising, access to tutoring and academic support services, and opportunities to make up missed coursework or assessments. We encourage open communication between students, faculty, and academic advisors to address concerns and develop strategies for improvement.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR APPEALING ACADEMIC DECISIONS?
Our institution maintains a clear and structured procedure for appealing academic decisions. If a student encounters an academic matter they wish to challenge, the process typically involves initiating an informal discussion with the faculty member or instructor involved to seek an informal resolution. If the issue remains unresolved, the student may proceed with a formal appeal by submitting a written appeal to the academic department or program coordinator. This written appeal should provide a detailed account of the issue, supporting evidence, and the desired outcome. An Academic Review Committee, comprising faculty members and academic administrators, will review the appeal and render a decision. The student will be
promptly notified of the committee’s decision, and if the appeal is granted, appropriate measures will be taken to address the concern. While these are the general steps, it is essential to refer to your program-specific guidelines for precise details on the appeals process, ensuring that students have a fair and equitable means to address academic decisions. For inquiries or guidance on the appeals process, students can contact their academic advisor or academic affairs department for support.

If you are interested in hands-on surgical experience, we recommend consulting with your program coordinator, clinical education team, or faculty members to learn more about the specific opportunities available within your program. We are dedicated to helping students develop the skills and knowledge needed to pursue successful careers in surgical disciplines.
