Probation can be for the remainder of a current term or may be for the remainder of the time the student is enrolled at NSU’s M.D.S. program. Probation can have special requirements that must be complied with by the student. When a student is placed on probation, the student will be notified by the associate dean of Academic Affairs, and documentation will be placed in the student’s file. Additionally, a notation regarding this probationary status may be included on the student’s official academic transcript. While on probation, a student’s participation in extracurricular or other student activities may be restricted by the dean, if the dean feels that such participation could adversely impact the student’s academic progress. A student on probation may also be prohibited from holding office in any NSU organizations, clubs, fraternities, or sororities. Students may also be prohibited from being elected to any honorary or other school organizations. Participation in any restricted activities by a student on probation is a violation of the probationary period and may result in actions being taken up to, and including, dismissal from the M.D.S. program. Students must comply with the following guidelines, in addition to any special requirements of the probationary period, when placed on probation for academic and/or behavioral disciplinary reasons. During probation for behavioral reasons, the student must demonstrate appropriate behavioral, professional, and personal good conduct as defined in the conditions of the probation. Additionally, the student is required to refrain from any further violation of the Code of Behavioral Conduct and may be required to perform community service or comply with any other requirements intended to rehabilitate the student. If, while on probation, the student violates the terms of the probation, actions may be taken up to, and including, dismissal from the M.D.S. program
