*The sequencing of the six internship courses varies for each student. The student may be assigned any of the internship courses in any given clinical semester.

A grade of “F” or a mark of “U” or “NC” is not acceptable for progression to the next semester, nor is it acceptable for graduation if it occurs in the last semester of the program. A grade of “D” in the following professional courses is not acceptable for progression to the next semester, nor is it acceptable for graduation if it occurs in the last semester of the program: Laboratory Procedures (MET 3110), Hematology Laboratory (MET 4212), Clinical Microbiology Laboratory (MET 4215), Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (MET 4117), Immunohematology Laboratory (MET 4116), Hematology/Coagulation Internship (MET 4531), Blood Bank/Immunology Internship (MET 4541), Chemistry/Urinalysis/Phlebotomy Internship (MET 4540), Microbiology Internship (MET 4535), Urinalysis/Immunology/Phlebotomy Internship (MET 4224), Blood Bank Internship (MET 4226), Chemistry/Microbiology/Hematology Internship (MET 4600), and Laboratory Medicine Case Studies Seminar (MET 4135). A first semester student who passes all courses but achieves a CGPA of less than 2.0 will be allowed to progress on probation to the second semester if he/she has achieved a CGPA of at least 1.8 in the professional courses. A student in subsequent semesters must maintain a GPA of not less than 2.0 for all courses taken since entering the program.
