Faculty and staff are interested in helping students to build their best possible environment for success. Advising is designed with this objective in mind. Periodic reviews together will help students prepare a solid foundation. When difficulties and barriers are experienced, intervention discussions and programs will be used to remedy problems, hopefully before they become irreversible. The request for probation must be made by the student in writing within 10 days after receiving grades for the semester in which the dismissal occurs or no later than the first day the University is open in January if dismissal occurs at the end of fall semester.
Probation is granted at the discretion of the faculty.
The appropriateness and terms of probation will be determined by a three member Appeals Committee normally composed of the Coordinator of Education Student Services, Chair of the Division, and the student's Faculty Advisor. In a case where one of the members serves in two capacities, the third member will normally be an Education faculty member appointed by the Chair. Students will have an opportunity to present evidence in support of their request for probation. If probation is denied, students who have registered early will be administratively withdrawn from Education courses for which they have registered. In most cases, student will not be permitted to remain on probationary status more than one semester .
