Consequences of Probation and Dismissal

Students on probation will be subject to impacts on their priority. Release of probation holds will be dependent on participation in required activities (workshops and education plan development) and successful completion of all courses for the semester they are completing. For those receiving the Promise Grant who reach dismissal status (after 2 semesters on probation), will no longer be eligible to receive the grant. Reinstatement of the grant will be made when the student reaches good standing.
