the reasons being considered by the college for corrective action. The student is given an
opportunity to explain his/her version of the circumstances or events.
A student is expected to sign any written document representing corrective action. The signature
signifies the student’s awareness of the action and comprehension of the content. The student
receives a copy of the corrective action document. The original copy is filed as content in the
student’s academic file. A BHCLR witness may be present during corrective action procedures.
Appropriate BH and BHCLR personnel may be notified for their informational needs, record
keeping purposes and/or possible reciprocal action. A student who receives corrective action as an
employee of BH may also receive reciprocal corrective action as a student of BHCLR and vice
versa.

Meetings concerning official college actions are closed. Only BHCLR personnel and the student
may attend. If a student chooses not to keep an appointment for corrective action; the action shall
proceed without his/her presence.
BHCLR has the right to take corrective action based on information and evidence that it, in its sole
discretion, determines credible.

Denial of Entry
BHCLR may administer a denial of entry when an incoming student violates a BHCLR policy or
procedure during the application process. An applicant who has been denied entry will not be eligible to
apply to BHCLR for a designated amount of time, decided by administration at the time of denial of
entry.

BHCLR may administer an administrative dismissal when a reentry student violates a BHCLR policy or
procedure during the reentry application process.
Denial of entry and administrative dismissal are reflected on the official BHCLR transcript.

Verbal Corrective Action
Verbal Counseling or Warning: A verbal counseling or warning is typically the first level of corrective
action.

Written Corrective Action
Written Counseling or Warning: BHCLR administers a written counseling or warning reflecting content
related to the unsatisfactory conduct or failure to fulfill established requirements. A written counseling or
warning must be considered as an indication that without immediate and lasting behavior modification,
the student may not continue in the program.

Probation
BHCLR may administer probationary status, which is an indication that the student’s continued
enrollment is at immediate risk. Probationary status may result either from non-achievement of academic
requirements or unacceptable conduct. It indicates the student has not benefited from efforts of the college
to maximize learning or facilitate professional development. Conditional terms are set forth in the
probationary document.
Academic Probation: Academic probation indicates that a student is failing to meet identified academic
requirements. Rationale for probation is shared with the student by the respective personnel.
