a.   Each student must have successfully completed and passed graduation requirements including all required and elective courses and passing of the examinations conducted by the university.
b.   Each students must have demonstrated the necessary ethical and professional qualities required of a physician.
c.    Throughout the course of study, the appropriate Medical School Advisory Members will monitor students performance. In the event a student fails in the professional examination at any level, appropriate action will be recommended by the Medical School Advisory members, i.e. Recommended tutoring, special courses or a leave of absence to improve the students performances. All students who have not failed the course for the second time and who's behavior has not been judged to be unprofessional will be considered to be making satisfactory progress and will be considered in good standing.

Policies:

Students must receive fully satisfactory grades in all courses before being promoted to the next level. Students may repeat a course for a year only once.  If a Student fails in a retaken examination, the student will be dismissed from the school. At Lahore Medical and Dental College, there is a requirement of at least 75 percent attendance in all courses throughout the five years.
All leaves of more than 3 days will have to be approved by the appropriate Dean / Principal based on individual evaluation. If a leave is taken for medical reasons, the confidentiality of the student / physician relationship will be respected. No medical information will be made available to any body without the consent of the student. A letter from the treating physician supporting the advisability of a leave will be needed.

Procedures:

All academic deficiencies including allegations of unprofessional conduct will be brought to the attention of the Student Advisor. Monitoring of students' performance will be a continuous process and adhoc meetings may be called at any time to consider the performance of individual students. Regular meetings will be held once each semester primarily to consider the performance of students. These meetings may be attended by the parents. In case of unsatisfactory academic performances or unprofessional conduct, the Medical Advisory Committee headed by the Principal will make a decision, which may included (but is not limited to),
a)       Taking no action
b)       Sending the student a letter of concern / Advice,
c)       Placing the student on probationary status,
d)       Recommending remedial action, or
e)       Recommending disciplinary action (e.g. Reprimand, mandated leave etc.)
Advisory status is meant to assist student in succeeding and is not considered an adverse action. It will also not be reported on the transcript. For students required to undertake remedial work, the advisory committee should clearly stipulate the nature, expectation and timings of this remediation. The adequacy with which the student completes this remediation will be addressed by the committee at its first meeting after the stimulated completion.
Under the advisory / probationary status following services will be made available:
 Extra tutoring.
