DISMISSAL FROM THE IP PROGRAM
While the staff members of the Jonsson School’s IP Programs hope every student in the IP Programs is successful, occasionally some students do not follow the program rules and are subject to dismissal from the Programs. The following are reasons for dismissal:
Students who fail to maintain the qualifying grade point average will be placed on probation for the next semester. While on probation they may not return to their IPP assignment. If their grades improve and return to the qualifying grade point average, they will be permitted to continue in the program and return to their IPP assignment. If the grades do not improve and return to the qualifying grade point average, they will be dropped from the IP Programs.
Students may also be dropped from the program for failure to comply with IPP Policies and Procedures , IPP Assignment Rules, or for any of the following reasons:
1. Misrepresenting themselves by providing misleading or false information in their IPP JobLink registration with the School’s IP Programs.
2. Providing resumes with misleading or false information to the IP Programs or to participating or potential employers.
3. Failing to report to an IPP assignment without notifying the Jonsson School IP Programs staff, six weeks prior to the beginning of the scheduled work assignment.
4. Failure to complete an IPP Assignment Acceptance Form when working on an IPP assignment.
5. Leaving an IPP assignment before the end of the scheduled work period without prior approval from the Jonsson School IPP staff. (See the Jonsson School IPP calendar on page 14 of this handbook.)
6. Being discharged by an employer because of poor work performance or misconduct. A student who, due to poor performance, is not invited back for a subsequent work assignment as part of a multi-semester commitment will be considered discharged.
7. Failing to submit a complete and acceptable Work Report.
8. Failing to meet with the Jonsson School IPP staff as required.
9. Applying for Unemployment Compensation benefits based on their IPP assignment.
All decisions, regarding probation or dismissal from the IP Programs, will be made by the Jonsson School IPP staff. When a student is dismissed from the program, he or she may not continue working in an IPP assignment for an IPP employer. A student dismissed from the program may petition to be reinstated. Petitions should be addressed to the Director, Industrial Practice Programs, Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. Students petitioning for re-admission to the program must, to the extent possible, complete or correct the issues, which initially caused the dismissal (i.e. submission of a Work Report, etc.).
