Exemptions
The College of Dentistry, in principle, does not approve the granting of exemptions in medical or dental courses in any year of its D.M.D. degree program.
The computation of the Sessional Weighted Average for each year of the dental program will include the grade that the student obtained in the course while in dentistry, even if it is a lower grade than that obtained while enrolled in another program of study.
The only exception to this policy may occur when a student has completed a Master’s or Ph.D. degree in the subject area and can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Course Coordinator and Phase A or B Chair as applicable, that s/he has a thorough knowledge of the subject area. It will be at the Course Coordinator’s discretion to determine how this thorough knowledge will be demonstrated. Such exception to the general policy will be granted only within the first two weeks of the start date of the applicable year of study.
