Make Up Exam Policy: What to do when you fail a course in first or second year:

1. Student selects a make-up date by looking at the official school calendar for posted make up dates
2. Student emails Neill Clenaghan and lets him know the choice of date at least 2 weeks prior to the exam date
3. Neill emails Dr. London to see if the student is eligible to take an exam (i.e. the student has not failed 3 first year courses or 3 Systems segments, so they are eligible)
4. Dr. London responds to Neill and cc's the course director so that they know when the student is taking the exam
5. Neill emails the details to the student (when the exam will be available for them to take)
6. Neill emails the results to the course director so a final grade can be calculated, and to Mary Jean Allen and Dr. London for tracking purposes
7. If the make-up is an NBME or customized NBME, student should see Dr. London at least 4 weeks prior to the test date with choice of date so exam can be ordered on time. Student may not take 2 NBME’s on the same date.
8. It is recommended that second year students take make ups close to the end of the course instead of leaving it for the end of the year when they will be studying for Step 1.
