Admission, Progression and Student Affairs Committee

The Admission, Progression and Student Affairs Committees of SON and SOP direct the process of reviewing policies and procedures affecting student admission and progression and collateral matriculation issues. The committees are responsible for recommending undergraduate and graduate student (future) admission criteria, progression, retention, advisement policies, and professional standards policies, practices, and due process procedures. These are shared with students through the student handbook. In addition, matters pertaining to student interests and activities are the responsibility of this committee. Student awards, scholarships, and ceremonies such as pinning and white coat ceremonies (future) and service outcome data are specific
activities assigned to these committees. These committees are chaired by a faculty member. The Student Services Director, Admissions Director or an Admissions Department representative acts as a resource to the committee and serves as a non-voting ex-officio member of this committee. For SOP the Senior Associate Dean of Academic Affairs serves as a non-voting ex-officio member of the committee.
