All students MUST pass the first lab practical in order to proceed to live animal anesthesia. This lab practical will be performed at the first on-campus lab. If you do not pass the first lab practical, you will be allowed one retake that must be taken within 7 - 14 days of the initial failed practical. If you do not pass the retake, you will not pass the course. You have the option to withdrawal, or you will receive a failing grade for the course.
