Chapel Probation precludes student participation in athletic and other intercollegiate competition as well as student leadership (including but not limited to Class Cabinet, ASC/Student Government, or any Student Life student leadership roles). Participation in AU-sponsored public programs (on or off campus) that are not a clear academic course requirement are also not permitted (including but not limited to study abroad, theatre productions, musical performances, student shows and Tumbling Team). Eligibility for certain scholarships also may be affected. Any student who earns a grade of “N” (not passing) for two semesters will most likely be suspended from the University for one semester.
While on Chapel Probation, students must participate in four Chapel Probation meetings across the semester and complete related assignments. Students will be notified of the times and locations of these meetings prior to the beginning of the semester. Any inability to attend meetings must be discussed with the Vice President of Student Life or designee, and an equivalent requirement will be put into place.
In order to pass Chapel Attendance for the probation semester, students must fulfill the Chapel Probation requirements in addition to meeting their current FLEX credit requirement. Students who do not fulfill all requirements may be placed on Chapel Suspension the following semester. If suspension is waived and the student is allowed to return on Chapel Probation, the student must repeat the required Chapel Probation meetings and assignments the next semester.
Students who complete 28-31 of their 32 FLEX credits (or the adjusted equivalent) are placed on Chapel Probation but qualify for restoration through community service. Students are notified by email and written mail within 14 days after the last day of classes regarding their probationary status and opportunity for restoration.
Students who are eligible for Chapel Probation restoration may complete one hour of community service for each FLEX credit needed to complete their requirement. Students are responsible for finding a community service opportunity to complete their community service hours.
Community service must meet the following criteria:
All qualifying community service work completed must be recorded on the Community Service Log and verified by the work supervisor. The student must email a scan or picture of the Community Service Log to ChapelAttendance@asbury.edu by the deadline on the form to have their Chapel Attendance grade changed to “P” (passing) and to be removed from Chapel Probation.
Students may be on Chapel Probation only one semester during their Asbury University enrollment. A second semester of Chapel Probation will most likely move a student to Chapel Suspension. Therefore, it is in the best interest of students who qualify for restoration through community service to take advantage of this opportunity.
