Both grades will appear on the student's transcript. Full tuition is charged for the repeated course. Any use of another's ideas or their expression in any medium without attribution is a serious violation of academic standards. The dissertation and thesis research projects must not be a duplication of student work previously submitted for fulfillment of either course requirements or previous research at CIIS or elsewhere. Such activity, if confirmed, subjects a student to disciplinary action including, in the most serious cases, expulsion from the Institute or revocation of any degree or academic honor fraudulently obtained.
All sanctions are subject to appeal as outlined in the student grievance procedure.
Students on probation will be reviewed by the program committee on a semester basis and may be required to reduce their course load or take supplementary courses. In addition, program committees regularly review the progress of all students in their programs and may make specific recommendations relating to the student's course of study or probationary status. Failure of the student to bring the grade point average above the minimum required by the end of the semester following notification of scholastic probation will result in dismissal from the school. A student's grade point average must return to the minimum required grade point average, and probation lifted, before the student is eligible for graduation. Program committees may establish probationary criteria in accordance with specific professional or disciplinary standards, subject to review by the School Dean.
