Students may be required to terminate their graduate studies
and withdraw from the School of Management and Labor Relations if they
fail to maintain satisfactory academic or professional standards in any
phase of their graduate programs. In addition, each student must comply
with any conditions imposed at the time of admission, or the student
will not be allowed to reregister. Nonadherence to the schedule of Time
Limits for Degrees may constitute a basis for termination. (See the
Degree Requirements chapter.)
When such problems occur,
the program notifies the student in writing of the program's
concern about the student's performance. Such a warning specifies the
source of the concern, the applicable program or graduate school rules,
and the proposed action. Warnings specify when and on what basis a
recommendation for academic dismissal will be considered by the
faculty.
A probationary period of one term is normal.
Following the probationary period, a student who fails to meet the
provisions of the warning is considered by the faculty for dismissal. A
faculty vote is recorded on any motion to recommend dismissal, and a
letter is written to the student stating the faculty action and its
rationale. When termination is recommended, the graduate program
director communicates in writing to the dean of the School of
Management and Labor Relations the specific reasons involved, all
warnings communicated to the student, the faculty procedures and
actions leading to the recommendation, the recorded faculty vote for
dismissal, and the mailing address of the student. The dean of the
School of Management and Labor Relations will write the actual letter
of termination to the student. Subsequently, the student's transcript
will bear the notation, "Academic Dismissal."
