Any student who observes a violation of Denver College of Nursing policies on Anti-Hazing, Drugs and Alcohol, Student Professional Conduct and Academic Integrity, or Smoking/Tobacco should report the incident immediately to the Campus President who will review all disciplinary matters. Student violations of these policies may result in sanctions ranging from warning, lowering of grades, failure of class, or placement on probation, to suspension and/or immediate dismissal.
SUSPENSION is a period of time to be determined by the Campus President during which the student is removed from classes until the terms of the suspension are met. If the terms of the suspension are not met, the student will be dismissed from the program. A student may be placed on suspension at any time during the program.
PROBATION is a trial period of attendance during which the student must improve attendance, grades, or conduct. If the student does not improve as required, the student will be dismissed from the program.
DISMISSAL means that the student has been expelled from Denver College of Nursing.
The student will be notified in person and in writing, within three (3) business days of the incident being reported to Campus President, of the selected sanction, together with their right to appeal the decision.
