College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Master of Dental Science Certificate Program 2024–2025 157 Academic, Behavioral and Disciplinary Actions Probation Probation is defined as a trial period during which a student has the opportunity to demonstrate that the student 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 M.D.S. program. 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. A student on probation may also be prohibited from holding office in any NSU organizations, clubs, fraternities, or sororities. Students may also be prohibited from being elected to any honorary or other school organizations. Participation in any restricted activities by a student on probation is a violation of the probationary period. Students must comply with the following guidelines, in addition to any special requirements of the probationary period, when placed on probation for academic and/or behavioral disciplinary reasons.

Additionally, the student is required to refrain from any further violation of the Code of Behavioral Conduct and may be required to perform community service or comply with any other requirements intended to rehabilitate the student. If, while on probation, the student violates the terms of the probation, actions may be taken up to, and including, dismissal from the M.D.S. program The SPC may make a recommendation to the dean to place a student on probation with any additional requirements when • a student is otherwise not making satisfactory progress toward meeting program requirements • it is believed that a student has failed to achieve sufficient maturity of thought or professionalism • a student is responsible for a violation of local, state, or federal laws, rules, or ethical codes
