Non-Academic Dismissal

Dismissal for Non-Academic Reasons

Students who commit any of the following acts may be dismissed from the University according to the procedure for disciplinary dismissal:

■ academic dishonesty

■ plagiarism

■ falsification of information given on official school documents

■ falsification of records regarding patient care

■ unauthorized possession of an examination

■ illegal possession, use, sale or distribution of drugs

■ illegal possession of weapons

■ theft

■ commitment of any act which would result in ineligibility for licensure or certification

■ participation in cheating or lying in reference to clinical or classroom assignments

■ chemical impairment in the school/clinical setting

■ conduct which is inappropriate for either clinical or classroom environments (e.g., abusive language, threats, assault and battery, disruptive talking)

This list is not meant to be all-inclusive, but serves to identify examples of behaviors that warrant disciplinary dismissal. See the Student Handbook for due process due to misconduct.

Appeal Rights for Dismissal for Non-Academic Reasons

Program dismissal appeals for dismissals not due to a course grade or overall GPA will be heard by an appeals committee convened by the Office of Academic and Student Affairs. This appeal recourse is available only to students dismissed from programs for student misconduct reasons (that is, reasons exclusive of those related to grades or GPA deficits). Students must initiate this process via a letter to the Executive Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, clearly stating the reason for the dismissal, within two weeks of the dismissal notice.
