UMES reserves the right to dismiss or fail to graduate any student who does not maintain standards of academic and professional integrity, ethics, and conduct appropriate to the discipline/degree program during the student’s course of study at UMES, including clinical experiences, practica, and internships. Students should also consider licensing, registration, credential requirements of a profession in which past personal history or conviction and criminal record may restrict completion of a degree program (the professional phase) and the eligibility to practice in a profession if graduated from a program.
