Students are allowed to request a program extension through the Student Academic Review Committee (SARC). Process for these requests is outlined in the SARC Terms of Reference, Appendix, Section E as found in: http://www.ucalgary.ca/mdprogram/files/mdprogram/aasarc-tor-december1914.pdf. Extensions may be allowed in the clerkship year (Year 3 of Program) as a result of a student failing to be matched in the Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS) residency match.

Students are required to complete the first two years of the MD curriculum within no more than four years from the initiation of studies, and complete the third clerkship year within two years after the completion of the first two years of study. Exceptions are made for students formally enrolled in the MD/PhD or MD/MSc Programs, where the maximum time allowed for the completion of the combined programs is eight and six years respectively. Exceptions may be made in other unusual circumstances.

Approved leaves of absence (single or cumulative) may extend the time to complete the curriculum by no more than two years beyond the maximum time allowances.
