CHCS Student Handbook 2019-2020

Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences 2019–2020 111 a student that his/her behavior is in serious violation of university standards. A time period is indicated during which another violation of the Student Code of Conduct will automatically raise the question of a more severe sanction (suspension or expulsion) if the student is found in violation.” A student who violates the Student Code of Conduct will be referred to the program’s Committee on Student Progress. Please see the Committee on Student Progress procedures in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences section of this handbook. Suspension Suspension is one disciplinary level higher than Probation and appears on the student’s official transcript. It is a mandatory separation from the program for a period of time specified in an order of suspension. Suspension is stipulated when a student violates the Student Code of Conduct and/or does not meet the conditions of his or her probation, as described above. Readmission to the program will not be entertained until the period of separation indicated in the suspension order has elapsed and is subject to approval of the department chair/program director. During the period of suspension, the student may be subject to other restrictions, which will be outlined by the student’s program. A student who violates the Student Code of Conduct will be referred to the program’s Committee on Student Progress. Please see the Committee on Student Progress procedures in the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences section of this handbook. Dismissal Dismissal is the final and most severe step in the levels of disciplinary recourse. Dismissal is stipulated when students violate the Student Code of Conduct and/or do not meet the conditions of their probation, as described above. A student who violates the Student Code of Conduct will be referred to the program’s Committee on Student Progress, which will make recommendations to the department chair/program director. The college reserves the right, and the student by his or her act of matriculation concedes to the college the right, to require withdrawal at any time the college deems it necessary to safeguard its standards of scholarship, professional behavior, and compliance with regulations, or for such other reasons as are deemed appropriate. A student who is dismissed because of a violation of the Student Code of Conduct may be required to reapply to the program in order to be considered for readmission under the admissions standards applicable for the next class. However, readmission is not guaranteed and is ultimately at the discretion of the program director. The applicant will be treated as a first-time competitive applicant for the purposes of coursework and must repeat and pass all required coursework. Students are instructed to refer to their college’s individual program policies regarding readmission, because exceptions or additional restrictions may apply. Faculty members should use the Curriculum Change Form when probation, etc., is to be notated on a transcript.
