Disciplinary Actions 1. Verbal Reprimand A verbal reprimand is an oral notification to the student that continuation of wrongful conduct may result in more severe disciplinary penalties. A record of the verbal reprimand will be placed in the student’s file. 2. Written Censure A censure is a written reprimand for a violation of specific rules, with the warning that any other violation(s) of the Code of Behavioral Conduct, within a stated period of time, may be cause for more severe disciplinary penalties. The student will be required to sign a document in which the censure is explained. Copies of the document will be given to the student and placed in the student’s file. 3. Restitution Restitution is payment of a specific sum of money to an injured party and/or performance of specified rehabilitative services within a stated period of time. 4. Academic Warning An academic warning is a written notification to the student indicating a level of academic deficiency that may lead to probation. The intent of this action is to promote communication by the student with faculty members or administrators to help identify weak areas and suggest professional strategies to improve performance. 5. Probation Probation is defined as a trial period during which a student has the opportunity to demonstrate that the student can academically redeem failing grades or can effectively cease behavioral misconduct. Probation can be for the remainder of a current term or may be for the remainder of the time the student is enrolled at NSU’s CDM. Probation can have special requirements that must be complied with by the student. When a student is placed on probation, the student will be notified by the assistant dean of Academic Affairs, and documentation will be placed in the student’s file. Additionally, a notation regarding this probationary status may be included on the student’s official academic transcript. While on probation, a student’s participation in extracurricular or other student activities may be restricted by the dean if the dean feels that such participation could adversely impact the student’s academic progress.
