Student Disposition Policy (Approved 11/23/04)

When a special education major/minor's dispositional (and related) behavior(s) are of sufficient concern to warrant a response by any departmental member, these concerns may be brought for discussion to standing departmental meetings or to such meetings convened for the purpose of discussing concerns. The discussion should identify concerns, note previous efforts to respond to these, and consider options for a plan of action for the student should such be required. Minimally, this plan of action would detail behaviors of concern, identify expected changes, and specify a timeline and criteria for evaluation. Should a plan of action be required, the student will be invited to attend and participate in a meeting to develop an action plan which would include the documentation procedure. The committee may choose to file the action plan in department student record. This procedure and action plan must be consistent with University policy.
