All students agree to abide by Student Assistance Program instruction and recommendation(s) as a condition of enrollment at NSU. A student referred to the Student Assistance Program shall sign an authorization and consent for release of information, including an authorization for the release of a student’s medical records so that the Student Assistance Program director and authorized representatives of the applicable college may monitor the student’s performance and compliance with the conditions of the Student Assistance Program. Any failure to comply with the conditions of the Student Assistance Program, or, failure to comply with any recommendation of an authorized independent licensed health care provider authorized by the Student Assistance Program may result in dismissal from the respective college. Any student referred to the Student Assistance Program may have his or her clinical rotations or other clinical assignments suspended or re-scheduled at sites that will allow the student to be more appropriately monitored during the course of participation in the Student Assistance Program. The student may also be asked to take a medical leave of absence from NSU while participating in the Student Assistance Program.

The Student Assistance Program is independent from the disciplinary process for each respective HPD college.
