Causes for Dismissal from Bellin College

A student may be dismissed from the College as a result of academic-misconduct, non-academic misconduct, academic performance reasons and/or for behaviors that are not in accordance with College policies or values.

The following situations result in an automatic dismissal from Bellin College:

  • Program Participants who become ineligible to practice due to loss of license.
  • Failure to fulfill or resolve academic or disciplinary probation requirements via breach of contract.
  • A student who is unsuccessful in two major courses will be dismissed (see Progression Policy) Exceptions may apply to students in their last session/semester.
  • A student who is unsuccessful in three general education courses will be dismissed (see Progression Policy which also states students may repeat a failed course one time only).
  • Receipt of an incomplete in more than two enrollment sessions or two incompletes in one semester or grading period.
  • If a student is not able to progress in their curriculum plan due to space or course availability.
  • Failure to pay tuition/fees by the prescribed deadline unless arrangements are made with the Bursar.
  • Failure to complete the degree within five years.
  • The College reserves the right to dismiss any student from the program when that student’s health, performance, and/or behavior jeopardizes the safety of patients, other students, or College faculty, staff, visitors, and/or guests.

If any of the above occurs, the program participant will be notified immediately of their termination, unless a specific performance plan indicated otherwise.  The program participant will lose access to Bellin College courses within the learning management system once terminated.
