Determination of Performance during Probationary or Suspension Period

Successful Performance If the student meets all requirements and stipulations from the elevated intervention within the designated time frame, it will be documented by the Director and placed in the student’s Next Steps file. The probationary period or suspension will end, and the student will be considered in good standing.

Unsuccessful Performance If the student does not complete all requirements and stipulations during the probationary or suspension periods, the Director will meet with the faculty advisors, staff, and other applicable campus partners, no later than the day prior to the time set for completion of the probationary period, to determine the next course of action.  This allows the team to address the issue in a timely manner if improvement is not being made.  If the student fails to make satisfactory improvement under their Action Plan in the elevated intervention (beyond mild), the Director and leadership team with consultation from the Vice Provost & Dean of Students or Dean’s designee, may take action to remove the student from Next Steps at Vanderbilt.
