The University has full authority to
discontinue the enrollment of a student who is mentally disturbed
to such a degree that an academic program cannot be successfully
pursued, or whose conduct impedes the work of other students,
faculty or administrative offices. The decision shall be made by a
Special Cases Committee including the Director of the Counseling
Center, the Chief Student Affairs Officer, University Psychiatric
Consultant, Dean of Students on the student’s campus and the Dean
of the school or college in which the student is registered. The
advice of others may be sought. There is no appeal from this
decision. The process by which the student may request permission
to enroll at a subsequent period will be reported to the student.
Pending action by the Special Cases Committee, the status of a
student shall not be altered, nor shall the student’s right to be
present on the campus and to attend class be suspended, except,
when in the judgment of the Chief Student Affairs Officer or
designee, the student’s conduct is an imminent threat to the
physical or emotional safety of others, or to the student, or to
property.
A student who seeks readmission at a subsequent period shall
meet with a professional staff member appointed by the Director of
the Counseling Center for evaluation. A written report shall be
obtained from the outside professional who has treated the student
in the interim. This report will be reviewed with the University
Psychiatric Consultant. An appointment with the University
Psychiatric Consultant may or may not be required upon completion
of the above steps; a decision will be made regarding readmission;
and the student seeking readmission will be so informed.
