• Not sure
an alert should occur for a first infraction
• Should enter into a first discussion with appointed position.
• But not written at this point
• 3 days too short a period - 1 week better
• If told expectations in advance, 3 consecutive days are too
long. Again, exceptions may apply.
• Or receive a friendly call!
• Leave to college's discretion. |
| 10. Students

winter months (flu, weather, etc.)
• I would hope a warning would occur before a month is up.
• I don't like the word warning - better to advise of not meeting
expectations. .
• These are students on the way out.
• Too long
• They should receive encouragement (not be put on alert)
• Or receive a friendly call!
