UFCD Advanced & Graduate Students: 
Duration of Appointments & Conditions for Reappointment

Your initial appointment, and conditions of enrollment, is referred to in the Letter of Offer to Residents. We anticipate you will remain in the prescribed course of your residency until completion. However, it is understood that appointments are renewed annually and that continued retention in the training program depends on your satisfactory performance/training progress, including your adherence to acceptable professional behavior, as well as the continuation of requisite funding for the program and the best interests of the program as determined by the University. A resident's reappointment and progression to more advanced levels will be based on the results of periodic reviews of the resident's educational and professional achievement, competence and progress as determined by the program director and teaching faculty. However, no appointment shall create any rights, interests, or expectancies of continuation beyond the term of the current appointment itself. At the completion of each academic year, your performance will be reviewed and the recommendations for continuation communicated to you by the Program Director or designee. The program maintains a confidential record of the evaluations.
