The College may address academic misconduct through proceedings under the Student Code of Conduct as well as through proceedings implemented by an instructor, academic program, or department. Specifically, imposition of academic sanctions on a student by an instructor, academic program, or department does not prevent the College from instituting proceedings against the student under the Student Code of Conduct. In addition, the Student Code of Conduct does not prevent an academic program from imposing academic sanctions on students who engage in unprofessional conduct as defined by program specific policies or professional licensure requirements. Common types of conduct covered by the Student Code of Conduct include: Academic Integrity such as Cheating, Dishonesty or Falsification, Harmful Academic Action Towards Others, Improperly Helping Others, Failing to Follow the Rules and Responsible Conduct. For more details, refer to the [https://catalog.unmc.edu/general-information/student-policies-procedures/code-of-conduct/code-of-conduct.pdf Student Code of Conduct].

=== Section II - Standards of Satisfactory Academic Standing and Progression ===
Within the parameters established below, programs within the College of Allied Health Professions will designate the current Academic Standing of each student. All students will be considered to have an Academic Standing of Satisfactory upon entry into the program, and any changes in Academic Standing will be reported to the student and to the CAHP Director of Enrollment Management, who is responsible for securely maintaining individual and aggregate records of academic status, progression, remediation, and sanctions for all CAHP students. The Academic Standing Categories refer strictly to Academic Standing and should not be confused with Satisfactory Academic Progress used to determine financial aid status.
'''A. Categories of Academic Standing and Progression'''
# Satisfactory – All students entering a CAHP program are considered to have an Academic Standing of Satisfactory. No transcript notation will be made for this standing; absence of other notation implies satisfactory academic standing. A student’s Academic Standing upon completion of the program must be Satisfactory. Confirmation of Satisfactory Academic Standing must be documented by the CAHP Director of Enrollment Management prior to graduation.
# Formal Remediation – Formal Remediation is the first documented level of academic performance action, noting that informal remediation or counseling recommendations may proceed formal remediation actions. Notation of Formal Remediation does not appear on the student’s transcript. Formal Remediation may be imposed in any instance in which academic performance and/or professional conduct has been or is unsatisfactory as determined by the Program Director, or program committee, with input from the faculty as appropriate.
# Academic Probation – Academic Probation is the second level of academic performance action. Notation of Academic Probation does not appear on the student’s transcript. Academic Probation may be imposed in any instance in which academic performance and/or professional conduct is unsatisfactory, as determined by the Academic Success Advisory Board with input from the Program Director, or program committee, as appropriate.
'''B. Standards of Academic Progression'''
Students must successfully complete all program requirements and required courses with final grades deemed satisfactory as defined by the program, and as satisfactory completion is defined in the course syllabus when relevant.
A student-initiated disruption in academic progression may result from the following actions:
# Personal Leave of Absence – A Personal Leave of Absence may be requested in writing from the student to the Program Director. Prior to approval, the program will consult with the Office of Enrollment Management & Student Affairs to evaluate current and future enrollment plans and to review potential financial implications for the student. A request for a Personal Leave of Absence for documented medical or ADA reasons may not be denied. The student is expected to satisfy all academic requirements, program policies and procedures, and professionalism standards while a Leave of Absence request is being reviewed. If the Personal Leave of Absence request not related to a documented medical or ADA reason is likely to be denied, the Program Director will first consult with the CAHP Primary Conduct Officer. If the Personal Leave of Absence is approved, the Program Director, or program committee, must provide a plan of study to be followed on return to the program, including a specified timeline of activities, and a deadline for satisfactory completion of the plan. The Proposal for Return must include any administrative actions that should accompany this change of status, including consultation with financial aid for financial implications of taking a leave of absence; Notice of the date by which the student must provide to the Program Director and the CAHP Director of Enrollment Management written Notice of Intent to Return to the program; and a plan of study to be completed upon the student’s return to the program, noting if the student will be placed on a decelerated plan of study upon return, specifying the student’s academic standing at the time of return. The date by which the student will return to the program must be communicated at least three weeks prior to the start of the agreed upon semester of return.
# Withdrawal –The student must consult with the Program Director regarding the decision to withdraw prior to submitting a written Request for Withdrawal. The student must request a withdrawal in writing to the Program Director and the CAHP Director of Enrollment Management. Withdrawn is a final status. Notation of Withdrawn will appear on the student’s academic transcript with the date that the withdrawal is effective. In the case of a student-initiated withdrawal, the student is eligible to reapply to the program.
