Probation

Criteria for probation are listed in the previous section.

A student placed on probation will receive a letter from the Chair of the Academic and Professional Progress Committee (APPC) outlining the reason for and conditions of probation and the steps necessary to return to good academic standing. In addition, the student on probation is required to meet with their faculty advisor to discuss the situation and develop a strategy for improving performance.

A student on academic or professional probation will remain on probation until they have satisfied the requirements of said probation. Once all requirements have been satisfied, the student will be returned to good standing but remain on the corresponding “warning”. If the student later meets the criteria for probation again, whether through behavior or academic preparation, there will be no second probation. A student who meets criteria for probation a second time will be dismissed from the program.

While on probation, students will not be permitted to hold an office in the student society or serve as the leader of any PA program function or activity. When the student has met the conditions to return to good academic standing, they may be permitted to resume leadership roles with the approval of their program director.

Any student who remains on probation at the time of graduation will be released from probation in a meeting of the APPC held prior to graduation provided the following conditions are met:

The requirements for the probation plan are satisfied
There are no additional infractions

The student need not be present at this meeting but will receive notification of a return to “good standing” via email.
