Behavioral Grading Criteria
Any and all behaviors listed in the table below are concerning and will result in referral to the Office of Student Affairs. If the behavior is egregious and/or part of a concerning pattern of behavior, it may also result in referral to the Promotions Committee for consideration of disciplinary action and/or documentation in the Academic Progress section of the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE). Additionally, the list below is not exhaustive; there are behaviors not described below that may result in escalation and/or disciplinary action (see: Student Code of Conduct).
The following tables are used to determine the impact of the listed behaviors on the student’s AI grade. The AI Director has the discretion to determine if the student has exhibited any of the listed behaviors and will incorporate these observations into the calculation of the student’s final grade.
1 mark – Eligible for Honors. Referral/escalation as above
2-3 marks – Not eligible for Honors. Eligible for grade of Pass or Fail. Referral/escalation as above
4 or more marks – Fail grade. Referral/escalation as above
