University-initiated withdrawal
A student may be the subject of a university-initiated withdrawal from the university when 1) the student has received a student conduct sanction during a semester which would prevent the student from completing the semester or 2) it is determined, in the judgment of the vice president for student affairs, that the student is a threat to her/himself and/or others or results in a significant disruption to the university community.
Students involved in university-initiated withdrawal have the opportunity to present their position and any relevant information prior to a final decision concerning continued enrollment at the university. University-initiated withdrawals follow the same guidelines, procedures, and due process as the student conduct hearing process outlined in the student handbook.
This process will follow the same guidelines, procedures, and due process as the student conduct hearing process that is outlined in the student handbook.
