A student is considered on non-academic probation if there is any significant violation of RVU MSBS professionalism criteria, honor code, or institutional code of conduct. Depending on the nature of the violation, students may need to meet with the Program Director, a Student Affairs representative, the MSBS-SPC, and/or the Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP). Courses of action may range from a warning, being formally placed on non-academic probation, to being dismissed.
MSBS students on non-academic probation are ineligible to hold an office in an RVU student club or organization. Mid-semester professionalism performance may also be monitored more closely to assist with progress. Students currently on non-academic probation are ineligible for the MSBS-COM Tier system, although satisfactory progress in and/or resolution of professionalism concerns may restore eligibility as determined by the Student Performance Committee.
Students who fail to meet professionalism criteria, demonstrate concerning patterns of behavior, or are placed on non-academic probation may also be required to contact the Colorado Physician Health Program (CPHP).
