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.
