Students exhibiting these more extreme
examples of disruptive behavior may be dismissed from the lesson or the entire
course. Students dismissed from a lesson will leave the classroom immediately or
may be subject to additional penalties. Dismissed students are responsible for
any course material or assignments missed. Students dismissed from a course have
the right to appeal the dismissal to the department head responsible for the
course. Appeals beyond the department head may also be pursued. If no appeal
is made or the appeal is unsuccessful, the student will receive a grade o WF
(withdrawal – failing) regardless of the current grade in the course.
Conditions attributed to physical or
psychological disabilities are not considered as a legitimate excuse for
disruptive behavior.
