This petition serves to outline the challenges posed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic as it pertains to Semester 4C students studying at Ross University School of Medicine. Many students did not want to take the risk of being quarantined in Barbados as national policies around the world were changing by the hour. Though originally the Renal/MSK exam was scheduled for March 24, 2020 (one week after the HL2 exam), the disruption of study time, immediate need for travel and uncertainty surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have consequently limited the time needed to review concepts from three different modules, which will essentially impact the performance and planning that students studying for these exams originally intended. We'd like to petition to reschedule the exam for Friday, March 27, 2020 so that our academics are not compromised by this unprecedented pandemic. We hope that this petition sufficiently represents consensus between Semester 4C students in light of the recent policy changes by RUSM administration, and we thank you for all that you are doing to support us in these trying times.

In order to verify that this petition is representative of Semester 4C students at RUSM for the Spring 2020 semester, please use your Ross E-mail when signing. Thank you and stay safe.
