As of spring 2015, there
has been a change in terminology relating to the SAS Dismissal Policy, but the
policy itself has not changed. What was formerly termed a first dismissal is
now called a suspension. What was formerly termed a second dismissal is now
called a dismissal.
Students whose academic performance
has deteriorated to the point of dismissal present myriad reasons for their
poor performance. The goal of the dismissal policy is not to punish students in
academic difficulty but rather to help guide them toward a pathway to academic
success.
