Regulations, Procedures, and Degree Requirements 39 General Academic Regulations 4. If the student does not request a hearing with the committee or take action satisfactory to the committee to resolve the matter within the time allotted in paragraph 3 of this section, the committee shall instruct the director of the Office of the Registrar to administratively withdraw the student no sooner than the fifteenth calendar day following the mailing of the notice provided for in said paragraph. If a student requests a hearing with the committee within the time allotted in paragraph 3 of this section, the committee shall schedule a hearing at the earliest practicable date. The student shall have the right to testify and to present witnesses or such other evidence as may be relevant; in addition the student shall have the right to have a physician or attorney present, or to cross-examine witnesses; or all of these. The committee shall hear the case and decide whether facts exist which warrant administrative withdrawal under Section I.B or C. If the committee decides in favor of administrative withdrawal it shall submit to the student a written statement of its findings, its decision, and the conditions under which the student may be reinstated. The student may appeal a decision by the committee in favor of withdrawal to the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs (Dean of Students) within seven calendar days of the committee’s decision. If the student does not appeal the committee’s decision within the seven calendar days allotted, the committee shall instruct the director of the Office of the Registrar to withdraw the student. If the student does appeal to the Dean of Students within the time allotted, the Dean shall schedule an appointment at the earliest practicable date and at that time shall confer with the student, accompanied by counsel if the student so wishes, regarding the committee’s finding, decision, and determination of reinstatement conditions. If the Dean affirms the committee decision, he/she shall notify the student of his/her decision, and instruct the director of the Office of the Registrar to withdraw the student. On appeal from the student, the Dean of Students may modify the reinstatement conditions. IV. Reinstatement A. Reinstatement from administrative withdrawal brought under the conditions of Section I.A. 1. Any student who has been administratively withdrawn under Section I.A may make arrangements with the director of the Office of the Registrar for the resolution of the matter. Upon such a resolution satisfactory to the director, the director shall forthwith reinstate the student to active enrollment status. The determination of whether a reinstated student shall receive credit for the period for which he/she was withdrawn shall be made by the instructor for each course involved. A student who fails to resolve the matter in the semester during which he/she is withdrawn can be reinstated in a subsequent semester upon satisfaction of the administrative requirements at issue in the university’s withdrawal of the student. 5. 2. B. Reinstatement from administrative withdrawal brought under conditions B or C of Section I. Any student who has been administratively withdrawn under conditions B or C shall be reinstated only upon satisfaction of the conditions established by the Administrative Withdrawal Review Committee, or by the Dean of Students where the Dean has changed reinstatement conditions appealed by the student. 6. V. Administrative Withdrawal Review Committee The Administrative Withdrawal Review Committee shall be appointed each year by the Chancellor. The director of the Office of the Registrar shall not be a member of said Committee except that the director shall sit in place of a regular member in any case wherein said regular member is the administrative official recommending withdrawal.
