Notice of Probation and Dismissal Decisions

By no later than two weeks after the first day of the semester, the Dean of the student’s respective School or Dean’s designee will send a student a notice of probation or dismissal by email to the student’s University email address and via USPS mail to the student’s mailing address on record. The date of the notice is the date of the postmark on the envelope or the date stamp on the email. Dismissed students will have their Richmont email deleted two weeks following their dismissal date, and their access to all Richmont-related systems will be removed.

A notice of probation should contain the following information:

  • A statement of the decision to place the student on probation
  • Reason(s) for placing the student on probation
  • Requirements (e.g., conditions, academic plan, timeline) the student must meet to be removed from probation
  • The consequences of not meeting the probation requirements
