Marquette University College of Nursing (Marquette Nursing) is a private Catholic nursing school that is part of Marquette University. The campus is located in Milwaukee, WI, and was established in 1912, offering nursing students undergraduate, graduate, and research opportunities. Students attending Marquette Nursing can benefit from the school's strong reputation and history to train and become future nurses with multiple career opportunities. However, to remain enrolled and benefit from these perks, students must adhere to the policies established by the university and maintain excellent behavioral and academic standards to succeed. Committing violations leads to many issues, including placement on probation, suspension, and dismissal from the College of Nursing.
As a future nursing professional, you are in a position of public trust. Marquette Nursing trains you to have the professional and academic standards to work with medical teams, patients, and fellow medical professionals. But this also means you are under extraordinary pressure to succeed and keep up with your peers and current nursing professional standards. A mistake or slip-up is always expected as part of your learning path. Still, some have more significant repercussions than others. A suspension or dismissal can end your career before it begins and lead to reputation damage that can make it hard to find a job later. With so much at stake and your degree on the line, don't wait if you learn of allegations against you.

Common Reasons for Dismissal From Nursing School
Dismissal from nursing school is the result of a significant issue, such as repeatedly encountering academic trouble, not meeting the grade minimum, committing violations, lack of professionalism, and unethical behavior. Although you may assume that one mistake will not lead to dismissal, this is not always true. Depending on the severity of the violation, you may not get another chance and may not graduate on time – or at all. Given that you are spending time, money, and effort to get your nursing degree at Marquette Nursing, any news of a possible violation can severely damage your future. Don't wait until you can no longer take action. Contact the Lento Law Firm Education Law Team as soon as you learn of possible allegations to decrease the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome.
Adjudication Policy at Marquette University
Students may receive a dismissal sanction for engaging in academic misconduct or failing to maintain the grade point average. However, only academic misconduct cases or similar issues lead to a hearing. Per the policy, any member of the university who believes that a student committed a violation must complete an Academic Misconduct Report Form. The form is submitted to the Academic Integrity Director within five business days of witnessing or obtaining information about the alleged violation. The Academic Integrity Director reviews the report within five business days after gathering information about the matter and determining whether it warrants an investigation. If it does, the Integrity Director notifies the student and assigns an Investigating Officer to conduct a thorough inquiry regarding the matter and to determine whether the case goes to an expedited procedure or a hearing.
The expedited review is for minor violations and minor sanctions. The matter escalates to a hearing if the student disagrees with the resolution presented during this process. During the hearing, the student has the right to defend against the allegations by providing proof and evidence to bolster their case. Although students may bring an individual to offer support, this person may not participate directly in the proceedings.
Once the hearing ends, the panel members deliberate and make a decision on sanctions. They send their decision to the Office of the Dean of the Nursing School and the student. Fortunately, students may appeal this decision by sending a formal written appeal letter stating the grounds for the appeal to the Academic Integrity Director. The director reviews the appeal and reviews the events before and during the hearing. Once they have made their decision, they send the student their verdict within five business days of receiving the appeal. Students who are facing suspension or dismissal have a right to appeal to the Office of the Provost. Once the Provost decides on the outcome, the decision is final, and students cannot make another appeal request.
