Original Article or Passage from the Constitution

5.F. Probation

Members no longer in good standing with the club as outlined in Section 5.D. will be placed on a probationary status. Probationary status includes the loss of all following rights:

  • Right to vote on proposals and in elections
  • Right to work on projects or attend team meetings
  • Right to attend social events, sponsorship events, and team launches
  • Right to purchase team apparel

Members on probation may still attend General Meetings

Amended Article or Passage of the Constitution

5.F.3: Permanent Academic Probation 

If a student is placed on permanent academic probation by the University, they may regain the following privileges of members in good standing:

  • Right to attend social events, sponsorship events, and team launches
  • Right to purchase team apparel
  • Right to work on projects or attend team meetings 

The right to work on projects or attend team meetings will be for a maximum of two days per seven-day week

The restoration of these privileges to the student on academic probation is contingent upon the following:

  • Term Self-reported term grade point average must be no lower than 3.00/4.00
  • The student must participate in bi-weekly academic check-ins with the RIT Launch Initiative's Club Advisor

If the student fails to abide by the above restrictions, they will be immediately classified as a member in bad standing and will not be able to regain good standing unless removed from academic probation by the University. 

Purpose of Amendment
The purpose of this amendment is to provide a recourse for students to regain some privileges of members in good standing despite being placed on permanent academic probation. We at RIT Launch Initiative believe that people can make the effort to change and should be rewarded for doing so, but we also do not wish to go against the University's decision.
