Students admitted to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) degree
program will be registering themselves for classes through the University of Saskatchewan Personalized Access to Web Services system (PAWS). Detailed
information regarding accessing PAWS registration and class selection
will be sent to students upon confirmation of admission. Lectures for all students in the DVM program will begin on Monday, August 27, 2012.
Students
wishing to arrive late should address the request, together with a
statement of the special circumstances, to the Associate Dean
(Academic), Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan. Late arrival will be permitted only by special ruling of the Faculty.
Students
are expected to regularly attend all lectures. Laboratory attendance is
a mandatory component of the veterinary education. Failure of a student
to perform the work of the course to the satisfaction of the Faculty
will involve the loss of credit for the course and the student will be
excluded from the final examination.
Subject to the regulations following, a
student who has failed in any course of the veterinary medical program
receiving a grade of less than 50% will be required to write and pass a
supplemental examination before starting studies in a subsequent year.
Subject
to a special ruling by the Faculty, failure in two courses or failure
to obtain a weighted average of 60% constitutes failure for the
session. The student may be permitted to repeat the entire year or be Required to Discontinue at the discretion of the Faculty.
The
Faculty may require an individual to withdraw from the program for
reasons other than academic if it is considered in the best interests
of the individual or the College.
