Doctor of Medicine (90850) Satisfactory progress - http://handbooks.uwa.edu.au/courses/coursedetails?id=c337

6. Supplementary to the Doctor of Medicine course rules is this document governing what constitutes satisfactory progress in the course and what rules are

applied in cases of unsatisfactory progress:

Satisfactory progress – Supplement to the Doctor of Medicine (90850) Course Rules – for 2017 Student Cohort

To make satisfactory progress in a calendar year a student must pass all units that the student is required to undertake in that year. If the student is eligible

for supplementary assessments, marks must be available at the time of the relevant Board of Examiners meeting for consideration of student progression.

For students identified as having difficulties, these rules assume that appropriate support has been provided, and that reasonable adjustments to teaching,

learning and assessment have been implemented if appropriate.

The marks obtained by students are final marks after standard setting and post-examination moderation, and after application of special consideration if

considered appropriate. Due to the standard setting process, no conceded passes will be permitted. Marks will be rounded to the nearest whole percentage

value.

Supplementary assessments will not be permitted for a student who— a. fails 2 or more units in a calendar year b. fails a Deferred or supplementary assessment; or c. has a progress status of 'On Probation’.

Students undertaking the Scholarly Activity Coursework streams will be bound by those respective unit rules. Students repeating a year or semester will be eligible for credit for Scholarly Activity units in that year or semester if the mark is 70% or above in those units. Despite credit being given for Scholarly Activity Research or Service Learning Units, students required to repeat a year will have continuation in these streams considered on a case-by-case basis according to ongoing availability of projects and supervisors. Students may be required to complete their Scholarly Activity credit point requirements by enrolling in Scholarly Activity – Coursework units.

Independent of the MD Course Rules, progression in the Course may also be affected according to UWA regulations on student conduct and discipline.
