POLICY TITLE


 COC Final Dismissal Policy


POLICY STATEMENT


 Final dismissal in the College of Chiropractic (COC) results if a student is dismissed a second time. There is no appeal for final dismissal.


PROCEDURE(S)


When a student is on the final quarter on academic probation prior to dismissal, they may preemptively appeal their possible dismissal to the COC Dismissal Appeals Committee.  The COC Dismissal Appeals Committee will review the information provided by the appellant and recommend it to the Provost/Chief Academic Officer (CAO).  The final decision is up to the CAO.  If the CAO approves accepting the appeal, the student will be allowed to register for courses within 2 quarters of receiving the decision and have one quarter in which to be removed from academic probation by fulfilling all terms of the academic contract.  If they do not register within 2 quarters, they will have to reapply to the program and be evaluated for readmission through the COC Admissions Committee.  Readmission is not guaranteed.  If the student is dismissed again after approval from the CAO for the additional quarter, then the student will be considered academically dismissed and will no longer be eligible for readmission. 


If the student appeals to the COC Dismissal Appeals Committee and their appeal is not recommended for and approved by the CAO, they may be considered for readmission after completing the requirements of the DC Reinstatement Policy AS.007.  If the student is dismissed again after returning under the Reinstatement policy, the student will be considered academically dismissed and will no longer be eligible for readmission.
