Foundations 1 Course Information
The dates below are for general information and planning purposes. All dates are subject to change, and students must log in to iROCKET to view personal calendars. The dates listed are primarily for exams and assessment activities that require students to attend in person, on a particular date, at a specified time. Students should review their iROCKET calendars for other assessment and required session information.
In-person assessments take place at different times, and for assessments that occur over multiple days, such as the CMC Demonstrations of Clinical Skills exams or the CBSE, students will be assigned to one session during the assessment dates. Students must consult their iROCKET schedule or contact the element coordinator for the most current timing before making any travel plans during assessment dates. Students should not plan travel on assessment days until specific assessment schedules are released.

To ensure your access to this course and to the program, students with disabilities may contact Student Disability Services (SDS). There you can engage in a confidential conversation about the process for requesting reasonable accommodations in the classroom and clinical settings. Accommodations are not provided retroactively.
