LUCOM documents term and cumulative rank on the student’s record.¹ Students will receive notification of their personal cumulative rank after the close of their OMS-II, OMS-III, and OMS-IV years. Rank is typically released to eligible students, after grades are finalized, in late-August, or early-September. Term average is calculated by multiplying the earned numerical grade for each course by the course credits assigned, resulting in course “points.” Next, the total points for all courses taken within a term are summed and then divided by the total number of credits taken within the term. Cumulative average is an overall total of course points, which are divided by the overall total number of credits. Rank is determined by each student’s term and cumulative average, compared to the student’s classmates. As a result of a student’s withdrawal, dismissal, suspension, delayed graduation date, or leave of absence, they will no longer be accounted for in the class rank calculations. Any OMS-III student unable to progress to OMS-IV by June 30 will be excluded from class rank calculations. A notation of “N/A” will be applied to the MSPE and the most recent rank will be noted (if available).
