Academic Standards
Committee

This
committee is concerned with grading procedures, grades, grade distributions, evaluation of students, criteria for advancement and graduation,
and related matters. This committee establishes criteria for promotion from one
phase (or year) of medical education to the next.  It also provides guidelines for the
pre-clerkship and clerkship promotions committees regarding the appropriate remediation
for students in academic difficulty.
In recent years it has also dealt with issues pertaining to the
Americans with Disabilities Act and its impact on medical education at the LSU
School of Medicine
