Academic Misconduct Disciplinary Designations

Disciplinary action for academic misconduct can take multiple forms. For academic misconduct, disciplinary action may include those listed in the Penalties for Academic Misconduct section. The most serious disciplinary procedures include suspension and expulsion, as defined below.

Suspension from Walsh College

A suspension will terminate the student’s status at Walsh College for a specified period of time, not to exceed one year. This may be posted on the student’s academic transcript at the direction of the dean of academics.

At the end of the specified period, the suspended student will be required to request reinstatement to Walsh College. If granted, the student will be admitted conditionally. Any additional act of academic misconduct committed during the remainder of the student’s academic program will result in permanent expulsion from Walsh College, without the possibility of appeal.

Expulsion from Walsh College

Expulsion from Walsh College will permanently and irrevocably terminate the student’s status at Walsh College. This may be posted on the student’s academic transcript at the direction of the dean of academics. An expulsion may not be appealed and the student will be permanently barred from earning a Walsh College degree.
