Improved academic performance does not guarantee readmission to Marist, and a student who is dismissed, readmitted and dismissed a second time can never return to Marist. Note that disciplinary dismissal or probation is a separate entity and these procedures are described in the Marist College Student Handbook. The Standards and Operations Committee, known to students as the Faculty Academic Review Committee, works in conjunction with The Center for Advising and Academic Services to carefully review student records. During May and December, SAA collects supplementary information for each student currently on probation. Among the sources contacted are instructors, the Academic Learning Center, the mentors, resident directors, athletics and the counseling staffs in Adult Education, HEOP, Special Academic Programs, and Special Services.
Advisors can provide helpful information about the student.
For instance, there may be a verifiable extenuating circumstance that impacted an advisees academic performance. It is usually in the student's best interest that the Committee know these circumstances, and therefore Advisors will be asked to share them with this office during May. We also ask advisors to send information on any student they deem to be at risk who are not currently on probation. Once all of the requested information has been collected, it is filed into each student's review folder. The folder is thoroughly reviewed by the Committee during the appeals process or sooner, as the situation warrants.
