*A grade of 60% is required in these courses both to pass the course and to maintain standing in the program. All PMD courses are taught at Centennial College. Note, some PMD courses require that 60% be achieved in all components of the course (i.e., lecture component, practical component, and clinical-placement component).

Note: In order to remain in the program, students must typically maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Students whose cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 should consult the program supervisor to discuss their options. Please also note, space in some Centennial College courses is limited. Students who must repeat one of these courses and whose cumulative GPA has fallen below 2.0 will be allowed to register in these courses only if space permits.
