In some instances, as approved by the Student Progress Committee (SPC) and Dean, DMD students may have to repeat one or more semesters of coursework. For each semester that must be repeated, students will be charged $10,000/semester. When a student fails to complete their fourth year graduation requirements and is allowed to extend their time at the LMU-CDM, repeat part of a semester, or require one or more semesters to graduate, as required by the CSPC and Dean, they will be charged as follows: less than four weeks to complete required competencies or required patient care – no charge; more than four, and up to eight weeks - $5,000; more than eight weeks and up to 18 weeks will be considered a full semester - $10,000; and any portion of a succeeding semester - $10,000. All LMU rules and regulations will continue to apply to students extending their time or repeating semesters and financial aid will continue to be available.
