Disciplinary Actions

ASU’s University Service-Learning Program expects all USL students to demonstrate professional and productive behavior at all times while completing their USL service hours. USL encourages community partners to hold high expectations for students, however, please remember that they are students and this is a learning experience.

Should community partners encounter concerns with a student, we recommend the following best practices:

1. Verbal warning with discussion about expectations

2. Written warning detailing violations and outlining corrective actions

3. Promptly notify the assigned USL coordinator with concerns regarding unprofessional behavior.

USL coordinators are available to help and can act as the liaison between the community partner and the student.

*Please address these issues as soon as they occur to set expectations and correct the behavior.

If the violation is severe or repetitive, you may request to remove the student from the service internship at any point in the semester. In the event that a community partner requests a USL student be dismissed from a service internship for unprofessional/inappropriate behavior or in violation of the organization’s requirements, the student will be required to attend a meeting with USL coordinators to determine the appropriate course of action in accordance with ASU policy.*

*Report an emergency or urgent concern or issue regarding or involving your USL student by immediately submitting an Issue Report Form.

  • Upon submission of this form, the USL administrative team will be notified immediately and a member of the team will contact you as quickly as possible, before any action is taken.

  • This form is strictly confidential and will not be seen by anyone other than USL administrative staff.

  • Submission of the form does NOT notify the involved student-intern.
