Attending Trident
Trident will regard studying at the University as a privilege granted in consideration of achieving specified levels of performance and maintaining the established standards of scholarship and personal and professional conduct. Trident reserves the right to revoke admission, require withdrawal or expulsion of a student, or impose any other appropriate sanction at any time it deems necessary in order to safeguard its standards of scholarship, conduct, and orderly operation and to maintain the integrity of the academic process. The student concedes this right by the act of matriculation. At the same time, the student has the right of appeal.
Within five working days following written notification of action by Trident, the student may appeal the decision in writing to the Provost who may then approve, reject, or modify the decision in question. The decision of the Provost is final.
The student will be reinstated to the university upon the approval of the appeal, absent any other violation of university policy. Depending on when the appeal is approved, the student may be reinstated into the same section of the course or may need to resume class in a subsequent session.
Students who are receiving tuition assistance or other forms of financial aid, and who are subject to adverse action by Trident, may also be subject to additional actions or penalties by external and/or funding entities. Trident will not disburse any federal financial aid to students under sanctions.
