Graduate w88 sports betting dismissal policy

According to w88 casino System of Higher Education (NSHE) Code, Title 2, Chapter 11,"a w88 sports betting may be dismissed from a program for academic reasons which may include but are not limited to inadequate grades or failure to remain in academic good standing as defined by the program, a tack of professionalism or unethical conduct, or failure to comply with other specific program requirements. Failure to comport with professional and/or ethical standards applicable to the particular discipline or program may be grounds for dismissal from a program."The NSHE Code authorizes programs to establish their own written dismissal policies, procedures and sanctions for program dismissals. The School of Public Health herein sets forth the Dismissal Policy for graduate students in the School of Public Health.

Section 1.Dismissal for failure to maintain required grades and required grade point average (GPA)

All graduate students must maintain a cumulative graduate GPA of 3.0. If their GPA drops below 3.0, they are either placed on probation or dismissed, as described below.

Undergraduate courses shall not count toward graduate GPA. Students who are dismissed from the program based upon failure to maintain required grades or a required GPA may be summarily dismissed from the program, without consideration of the Dismissal Procedures described in Section S.

Probation:Students with a cumulative graduate GPA between 2.31 and 2.99 are placed on academic probation for one semester. If they fail to raise their cumulative GPA to 3.0 by the end of one semester, they are dismissed from the graduate program. Thesis, dissertation, S/U graded credits, and transfer credits havenoimpact on a w88 sports betting's GPA.

Dismissal:Students with a cumulative graduate GPA of 2.30 or lower are dismissed from graduate standing.

MPH, M.S. and Ph.D. grade requirements

To be counted toward the degree, each graduate course must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. To remain in good standing in the program, students are required to maintain a 3.0 "B" grade point average in both the core and the specialization, individually.

Section 2.Dismissal for issues related to professionalism or unethical conduct

All issues relating to a w88 sports betting's alleged violations of the University's w88 sports betting Code of Conduct are processed through the Office of w88 sports betting Conduct. However, public health practitioners and

researchers make decisions about policies affecting the health of populations, and it is essential that these professionals adhere to ethical and professional standards and behaviors that may not be covered in the w88 sports betting Code of Conduct.

Faculty and students in the School of Public Health have developed Principles/Pillars of Professional Conduct for the School of Public Health. Four pillars uphold our standards of professional conduct: Integrity and Honesty, Self­ awareness, Reliability and Responsibility, and Collaboration and Communication. These pillars are exemplified through a number of behaviors and skills that are cultivated during academic and non-academic training. Exemplars of these behaviors and skills have been developed by faculty and students and while not exhaustive, the Exemplars provide guidance regarding the behaviors that are expected from students, staff, and faculty in the School of Public Health (see Principles/Pillars of Professional Conduct on page 7).

MPH, MS and PhD students in the School of Public Health must comply with the School of Public Health Principles/Pillars of Professional Conduct. Failure to adhere to the School of Public Health Principles/Pillars of Professional Conduct is considered a lack of professionalism. Repeated or egregious failure to adhere to the School of Public Health Principles/Pillars of Professional Conduct may be addressed through conversations with faculty or documented in written memos, submitted to the appropriate Division Lead or Department Chair and the School of Public Health Graduate Director. Repeated or egregious failure to adhere to the School of Public Health Principles/Pillars of Professional Conduct also may result in an individualized plan for improvement, recommendation for placement on probation, or recommendation for dismissal. A recommendation for dismissal due to lack of professionalism shall follow the procedures stated in sections 4 and/or S of the School of Public Health Dismissal Policy.

Section 3.Dismissal for failure tocomply with program requirements

Graduate students in the School of Public Health must comply with all program requirements and timelines outlined in the w88 sports betting handbooks for each program.

An MPH w88 sports betting must successfully complete the following components of the culminating experience according to the program timelines: (1) required internship hours specified in the w88 sports betting handbook and Program Curriculum, (2) approved internship project, (3) coursework related to the internship, and (4) the Capstone course and all required meetings that occur prior to the course. An MPH w88 sports betting shall be evaluated by preceptors during the internship to ensure that the w88 sports betting is meeting deadlines and standards of the MPH program. A w88 sports betting who does not meet program timelines for the culminating experience may be recommended for dismissal from the program.

A doctoral w88 sports betting must pass the qualifying/comprehensive exams, successfully complete a dissertation prospectus, and successfully defend the w88 sports betting's dissertation as outlined in the PhD w88 sports betting handbook. The written qualifying exam is typically taken the summer after the first year of coursework is completed. A w88 sports betting who fails the written PhD qualifying exam shall be recommended for dismissal from the program. A doctoral w88 sports betting must orally defend the w88 sports betting's dissertation prospectus to the w88 sports betting's full committee, which shall vote to accept or reject the prospectus or require revisions. If the committee votes to reject the dissertation prospectus two times, the w88 sports betting shall be recommended for dismissal from the program. A doctoral w88 sports betting must complete an oral defense of the w88 sports betting's dissertation. There are two parts to the oral defense, public and private. During the private part of the oral defense, the w88 sports betting shall meet with the advisory committee, which shall conduct a period of questioning.
