Disciplinary probation

Template:Distinguish2 Disciplinary probation is a disciplinary status that can apply to students at a higher educational institution^[1] or to employees in the workplace.^[2] For employees, it can result from both poor performance at work or from misconduct.^[2] For students, it results from misconduct alone, poor academic performance instead resulting in scholastic probation.^[1]

For a student, disciplinary probation means that the student is on formal notice, and subject to special rules and regulations.^[1]^[3] The violation of these rules may lead to more severe forms of discipline, such as suspension, dismissal, and expulsion.^[3] Disciplinary probation is a status midway between those latter and being a student in good standing.^[4]

For employees, disciplinary probation is one common step in a scheme of progressive discipline. It is a common replacement, in non-unionized workplaces, for the progressive disciplinary step of suspension without pay. A usual period for such probation is 90 days.^[5]
