The investment of time, money, and energy into a specific educational program can be quickly and abruptly terminated if your institution decides to dismiss you from your program. The attorneys at Albeit Masters represent nursing students, graduate students, professional students, and other students in defense of program dismissal decisions. 

The dismissal process looks wildly different depending on the institution and the program; our strategies employed to assist a student facing a program dismissal can range from preparing and attending dismissal hearings or committee meetings with the student, to prepping a student to attend solo if an advisor is not permitted per the college’s rules. We also assist students in writing appeals to dismissal decisions or program reinstatement requests. Additionally, the attorneys at Albeit Masters evaluate whether a program dismissal was predicated on discriminatory reasons or pursuant to other unlawful or actionable reasons. The first step in the process is to evaluate the policies at your particular university, in your specific program, and to understand your options for moving forward to defend yourself.

We have represented and assisted students at various colleges and universities, throughout Ohio and other states, at both private and public institutions in defense of program dismissal decisions.  If you are a student that has been dismissed from your educational program, or is in the process of being dismissed, your investment in your education and future career opportunities are at the most extreme risk of being extinguished. Seeking professional advice and assistance is a prudent and worthwhile decision if you are a student at risk of being terminated from your program.

College student representation is our passion, and we have a deep understanding of the stress, uncertainty, and emotions that are attached for students and parents alike. Check out examples of real cases handled personally by our attorneys.
