3. Breach of Academic Integrity (see Academic Integrity Policy)
   
4. Inappropriate conduct (e.g. breach of patient confidentiality)
   
5. Pattern of tardiness or absenteeism
   
6. Request for a Leave of Absence or to drop or withdraw from a nursing Medical Radiography course by a student on discipline warning
