Overview
If a student fails to pass master's exams, comprehensive exams, or qualifying examinations, cannot form a master’s thesis or doctoral committee, or fails to meet other departmental milestones, the Department Chair or Graduate Advisor may recommend monitoring status, academic probation, or academic disqualification to the Graduate Dean.

The order of this workflow is as follows:
Request an updated Academic Progress Plan from the student (Staff Graduate Advisor)
Create the Report which includes providing the details of the situation and uploading the Academic Progress Plan to the Follow-Up Action in GradPoint (Staff Graduate Advisor or Faculty Graduate Advisor)
Approve the Report(Faculty Graduate Advisor)
Review the Report, create the notification letter (Academic Services Staff)
Approve the Report, which results in the notification letter being sent and finalizes the process (Graduate Associate Dean/Dean)
Things to Know
Usually students are placed on monitoring status for at least one quarter before being escalated to probation (since a consequence of probation is the loss of funding/employment)
In certain circumstances it may be appropriate to place a student on probation without a quarter of monitoring first, such as when a student fails the first attempt at a qual/comp exam, and only has one attempt left.
