158 College of Dental Medicine (CDM)—Master of Dental Science Certificate Program 2024–2025 Suspension Suspension bars a student from attending school for a defined period of time if, in the opinion of the dean, the student has not attained a satisfactory academic level or has deviated significantly from the academic standards and/or standards of behavior established by the M.D.S. program. A suspended student will be removed from the academic enrollment with revocation of all other privileges and activities, including the privilege of entering the campus for a specified period of time. A student who chooses to appeal a suspension must do so to the chair of the Appeals Board, within three business days (excluding official school holidays and weekends) from the date of suspension. While appealing a suspension, a student may continue to attend classes and take all examinations in the usual manner. Suspension is included in the calculation of the program-length time limit for completing the program. During the time of a suspension, the student may be directed to comply with specific requirements and/or seek and carry out specific actions that are meant to rehabilitate or monitor the student. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, counseling or treatment. Additionally, prior to being reinstated from a suspension, the student may be required to submit appropriate documentation to the dean verifying completion or satisfaction of any such requirements. Depending on the nature and circumstances of the student’s policy violation, this required documentation may include, but is not limited to, written documentation from a qualified and licensed health care practitioner or physician, as deemed appropriate by the dean, certifying that the student is able to meet the Core Performance Standards described in the NSU Student Handbook and that the student’s physical and mental health is sufficient to permit the student to continue with the dental education. Readmission Following Suspension If a student is suspended, the student may return to the college when, in the opinion of the program, the student can present adequate evidence that the conditions and/or factors that caused the suspension have changed significantly so that there is a reasonable expectation that the student can perform satisfactorily if permitted to resume the student’s studies. Readmission will be solely at the discretion of the program. The student’s prior academic record will remain part of the student’s overall academic record and will be recorded on the permanent transcript. A suspended student will be withdrawn from all courses and receive a W on the student’s transcript. Dismissal Dismissal is the permanent termination of a student’s academic enrollment. As with all disciplinary actions, the dean is responsible for imposing this recommendation. An M.D.S. student who chooses to appeal a dismissal must do so to the chair of the Appeals Board within three business days (excluding official school holidays and weekends) from the date of dismissal. While appealing a dismissal, a student may continue to participate in the program in the usual manner. The reasons for which an M.D.S. student may be dismissed from the M.D.S. program include, but are not limited to a. failure of a course b. if a student exceeds the program-length time limit for completing all completion requirements, exclusive of any approved leave of absence in good standing
