9. Attending class or a clinical experience while impaired by alcohol or other substances; 10. Harassment, discrimination, threats, or violence, as determined through the applicable NLU process; and 11. Other conduct inconsistent with the ethical standards of the PA profession that the SEPC determines is incompatible with continued enrollment. D. Technical Standards 1. Inability to meet the Program's published Technical Standards, with or without reasonable accommodation. Determinations involving disability are made in consultation with the appropriate NLU office responsible for student accommodations. E. Clinical Education 1. Removal from a clinical site at the request of the site or preceptor for reasons related to professionalism, patient safety, or performance, when the SEPC determines, after review, that the removal reflects grounds listed in this section; 2. Failure to maintain clinical education compliance requirements established by the Program or by affiliated clinical sites (for example, immunizations, ba ckground checks, drug screening, certifications, or training) when that failure prevents completion of required SCPEs; and 3. Refusal to complete a required SCPE assignment when the refusal prevents completion of required curricular objectives. F. Enrollment Status 1. Failure to return from an approved Leave of Absence on the date and under the conditions established in writing, without an approved extension; and 2. Material misrepresentation or omission of information in the admissions process discovered after matriculation. VIII. IMMEDIATE REFERRAL FOR DISMISSAL REVIEW Most academic and professional deficiencies are addressed first through remediation. However, the Program Director may refer a student directly to the SEPC for dismissal review, without a prior remediation plan, when the conduct is serious enough that remediation is not appropriate. Examples include: • Conduct that places patients or others at risk of harm; • Academic dishonesty on a graded assessment or examination; • Falsification of clinical, academic, or patient records; • Serious violation of patient privacy; • Impairment in a classroom or clinical setting; or • Conduct that results in a University sanction of suspension or expulsion.
