Suspension/ Probation/Dismissal

The instructor and student are encouraged to engage in a constructive problem solving discussion to resolve presenting issues. The instructor has the responsibility to advise the student that further issues may lead to a change in student status. The student may be placed on probation as a result of this conference. Terms of probation are to be determined by department policy. Problems occurring under probationary status do not require a new conference and may result in termination. If the Associate Vice President for Student Services sees a need, an additional conference will be scheduled during the probationary period. Instructors can recommend probation or suspension and may physically remove any student who is a clear and present danger to himself/herself or others, but must document this action fully and immediately thereafter. Any student who feels that the charges against him/her, or actions taken as a result of such charges, are unfair or otherwise prejudicial may submit this matter to appeal under the grievance procedures as outlined in the College's Student Grievance policy 600.608.
