Can I make changes to the schedule I received through the elective lottery?
Yes. After you receive your original schedule, there is an open add/drop period in which you may make changes to your schedule online. You may change your schedule during the year either online or with Add/Drop forms.
When is the best time to do an AI?
It is best to take an AI elective in Period 1 or 2 of your 4th year or at the end of 3rd year if possible. This will give you the opportunity to ask your preceptor for a letter of recommendation for your residency application. It will also give you time to have the grade posted on your transcript for your application.
How do I schedule my required rotations if I need to retake a third-year exam?
In order to retake a shelf exam, you may not be taking another elective or clerkship at the time that the exam is administered. Some students try to schedule any make up exams during the break before the fourth year starts. If you need to make up an exam, you will probably continue on with your scheduled clerkships until you have the opportunity to take the make up exam during a break in classes.
Am I reimbursed for expenses associated with moving to the Clinical Campus?
Clinical Campus will reimburse up to $200 for each students moving expenses. You must provide a copy of your gas or truck rental receipts in order to be reimbursed. You may turn the receipts in to the Student Affairs Office.
Should I have all of my required vaccinations prior to arriving at Clinical Campus?
Completed and current health records must be on file before you will be allowed to register. Each student must have an annual health assessment and tuberculin test.
