A student may be suspended when they violates any portion of the REOC Student Code of
Conduct and will be escorted from the premises immediately. Some violations are grounds for
immediate termination from a program. The student must leave the REOC Center or REOC
sponsored events and clinical/internship sites. Where appropriate, the school will also notify
appropriate authorities (i.e., Rochester Police Department).
REOC Administration reserves the right to suspend a student based upon mitigating factors.
If suspended, the student’s daily attendance record reflects their absence from class. The
Dean/Executive Director or designee reviews all student suspensions and has the right to
terminate a student from their program and/or their right to return to the REOC in thefuture.
