In the event that students demonstrate unacceptable progress related to academic or professional dispositions within the graduate program, faculty members will complete a Fitness for the Profession Dispositions Form. This report will be reviewed by the Associate Dean of the Graduate Program and Dean for further recommendation. Appropriate action will be taken if a second report is filed on a student and the Associate Dean of the Graduate Program will convene a Student Hearing Committee to discuss recommendation for program continuance or dismissal.
