Opportunity for the removal of matriculation deficiencies is offered at the entrance examinations each year in August and January. Any undergraduate student who is reported as having failed in an examination, or who, after being conditioned, does not pass the reexamination for the removal of the condition, will be required to repeat every such deficient subject with the class that next takes it; unless, on recommendation of the officer of instruction in charge, the Faculty shall permit him to review a subject in which he is thus deficient with the assistance of an acceptable private tutor. By resolution of the Faculty, students of the first-year class who have failed to remove conditions by re-examination in August, provided such conditions or failures exceed one in number, will not be recommended for promotion. The Faculty has endorsed the Junior Certificate plan of the University to be applied to the third-year class. This provides that no student is eligible for senior standing who has any conditions or failures at the beginning of the term. LEAVE OF ABSENCE Prolonged leave of absence must be sought by written petition to the Dean, and the petition must specify the length of time (not more than a year) and the reason for which the leave is desired. An indefinite leave of absence will in no case be granted. A student must apply for leave to be absent or excuse for having been absent from any college exercise other than an examination to the officer of instruction in charge of such exercise; unless, for unavoidable cause, the student is obliged to absent himself from all college exercises for one day or several days, in which case the Dean will issue a written excuse for leave. Leave to be absent from an examination must be sought by written petition to the proper officer of instruction. Students who discontinue their work without formal leave of absence do so at the risk of having their registration privileges curtailed or entirely withdrawn. When any student shall have been continuously absent from his classes for two consecutive weeks, without official leave of absence, the Dean shall notify his parents or guardian that he will be dropped from the roll of the college should not satisfactory explanation of the absence be forthcoming within two weeks. Students incapacitated by illness or for other good cause (to be determined by the Faculty) may receive credit in lieu of attendance, upon presentation of certificate of physician in charge. DISCIPLINE The University authorities expect all students to set and observe among themselves a proper standard of conduct. It is therefore taken for granted that, when a student enters the University, he has an earnest purpose and studious and gentlemanly habits; and this presumption in his favor continues until, by neglect of duty, or ungentlemanly behavior, he reverses it. But if an offense occurs, whether it be against good behavior or academic duty, the University authorities will take such action as the particular occurrence, judged in the light of the attendant circumstances, may seem to them to require. Students who fail to make proper use of the opportunities freely given to them by the University must except to have their privileges curtailed or withdrawn. Grades of Censure-Centure will be expressed in the four grades of probation, suspension, dismissal, and expulsion. Probation indicates that the student is in danger of exclusion from the University. Suspension is exclusion from the University for a definite period. Dismissal is exclusion for an indefinite period, and with the presumption that the student's connection with the University will be ended by it. Expulsion is the highest academic censure, and is final exclusion of the student from the University. Students must obey Laws-All students in this College shall obey the laws regulating the practice of dentistry, or upon failure to do so shall subject themselves to the rules of discipline as above.
