Probation Appeals
A student placed on probation may not appeal the decision unless the student is able to produce specific documentation demonstrating an error in the data underlying the probation decision. A student may appeal a decision dismissing the student for academic deficiencies. A student cannot appeal a decision to withdraw the student from an internship, practicum, clinical site, or service-learning placement.
Appeal Process for Probation
- 1. If a student placed on probation has specific documentation demonstrating an error in the data underlying the probation decision, the student must submit that documentation to the Dean of the student’s respective School or Dean’s designee within five (5) business days of receipt of the notice of probation.
- 2. A dismissed student must present his or her written appeal to the dean of his/her School by the date specified in the notice of dismissal. The specified date will be no later than 30 days from notice of the probation status.
- 3. The appeal procedure for probation is designed to deal with exceptional cases of a complex nature. It is not available to circumvent standard requirements (e.g., grade grievance procedures, grades, grade point average, or examination standards).
