Bill > SB234

This bill, known as the "Medical School Letter Grade Act," mandates that by August 1, 2027, all public colleges and universities in Louisiana that grant medical doctorate degrees must implement a grading system for their coursework that uses at least four distinct levels of achievement, such as High-Pass (HP), Pass (P), Low-Pass (LP), or Fail (F), or a similar tiered system. This change aims to standardize how medical students' academic performance is evaluated within their curriculum, ensuring a consistent approach across institutions. The act also includes a standard severability clause, meaning that if any part of the law is found to be invalid, the rest of the law will still remain in effect.
