Policies

The Master of Science in Clinical Informatics Management (MCiM) program does not allow students to transfer in credits. The MCiM program maintains a set curriculum for graduate students. MCiM students are required to enroll in the required courses set by the program.

Prior to each quarter's enrollment period, MCiM students will receive enrollment instructions with details of the courses required for minimum degree progress.

Attendance Policy

MCiM is a one-year, full-time program designed to be completed across four quarters, with onsite class weekends held generally every other Friday and Saturday.

Attendance is central to the learning model. An "onsite session" refers to one day of an onsite class weekend. All missed sessions count toward a student's quarterly absence limit, including absences due to illness. Students are not able to join onsite classes remotely, and classes are not recorded for absent students.

Students must submit the MCiM Attendance Form at least one hour before the start of an on-campus class day to receive credit for advance notice. Advance notice should also be reported directly to instructors, except in emergencies. If the form is not submitted, the absence is treated as without advance notice.

Per quarter, the following limits apply:

With advance notice:

• 3 absences: warning

• 4 absences: academic probation and a required meeting with the MCiM Director of Graduate Studies

• 5 or more absences: dismissal from the program

Without advance notice:

• 2 absences: warning

• 3 absences: academic probation and a required meeting with the MCiM Director of Graduate Studies

• 4 or more absences: dismissal from the program

Students who anticipate difficulty maintaining good standing under this policy should contact the MCiM Admin Team before the start of the onsite weekend to discuss options.
