30 Clinical Probation, Dismissal, Petitions & Appeals

Probation

Probationary actions are recommended to the RISP Programs Director by a faculty member or may be activated by the student’s academic or clinical performance. When probationary actions occur, the student will be counseled and notified of the action, the length of probation and the action(s) necessary to be removed from probation. Failure to comply with the remedial actions outlined in that notification will result in the dismissal of the student from the program.

Dismissal

A student who has been on probation and has failed to improve or correct performance problems will be recommended for dismissal from the program. While on probation, additional incidents of poor performance (even if unrelated to the reason the student was placed on probation), may also lead to dismissal. A student who has been dismissed from the program may not reapply for admission unless the student petitions and the RISP faculty grant a waiver of this policy. A second dismissal is considered final and the RISP faculty will not consider readmission.

Petition and Appeal

Students may appeal decisions that they feel adversely affect them. The Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Programs adhere to the Health Professions Programs Appeals Policy. See HPP policy and Student Complaint Resolution Policy in the Program Handbook.
