Duration
A graduate student is customarily placed on probation either (a) until the student has successfully completed at least three (3) program-required (not elective) courses or whatever other number of courses is required in the notice of probation, or (b) until the Dean of the student’s respective School or Dean’s designee determines that the student has met all specific conditions of the probation. The Records Office will notify the student each semester that the student remains on probation.
Withdrawals and Incompletes are not allowed for the probation-required courses during the probation period; or when the Dean of the student’s respective School or Dean’s designee determines that a graduate student has not satisfactorily met the conditions of the student’s probation according to the time frame stated in the probation notification.
Probation is not required prior to dismissal. Requirements for reinstatement or readmission of applicants who have been dismissed from the University will be determined by the faculty and clearly provided in writing at the time of dismissal. Students have the right to appeal dismissal from the university.
Students who are dismissed will be dropped or withdrawn (whichever is appropriate) from all classes for which they are registered at the time of dismissal.
