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.

First collect an Academic Progress Plan for the student that outlines the steps needed to get back into good Academic Standingdepartmental expectations and the steps that the student needs to complete that quarter to make adequate progress. This can include scheduling/taking exams, enrolling in the right coursework, nominating a committee, submitted thesis/dissertation chapters, etc. The progress plan should be specific to the individual student and what they need to do that quarter.

In this case, the Faculty Graduate Advisor or the student’s personal advisor should create a progress plan and submit it without the student’s signature. This should only be done in cases where the student isn’t responsive. Ideally, the student participates in the progress plan process in order to ensure that all parties are on the same page with expectations. |
