MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES

In order to successfully appeal a negative action, in some cases the student will have to demonstrate that there were "mitigating circumstances" which interfered with the student's progress at school. Mitigating circumstances must fall within the following guidelines:

• The circumstances were temporary in nature.
• The circumstances were beyond the student's immediate control (health problems, death in the family, etc.)
• The circumstances are to be appropriately resolved by the time the negative action is to be lifted.
• In the judgment of the Managing Director and the Academic Supervisor, the student has demonstrated an understanding of the inappropriate nature of the behavior that resulted in his or her suspension, and he or she has expressed a desire, willingness, and ability to change this behavior.
