Dear Students,
The Volunteer Activities Program (VAP) is an initiative designed to enhance holistic learning throughout a student's educational journey. We understand that our students face many challenges. Yet, those challenges also provide opportunities to address core issues and re-envision the ideal student experience. We invite you to join us!
At its core, VAP is educational in nature. It affords students an opportunity to engage in service programs or projects that contribute positively to the campus or their local communities. Students can choose from various service opportunities, including ones that align with their academic and/or professional goals (i.e., pre-med, prelaw, sociology, etc.).
Successful completion of the Program will result in shortening the time period for the external reporting of the student's conduct record by the Dean of Students. This “clean slate” is particularly beneficial for students with future aspirations for graduate school, military service, or employment with law enforcement.
We look forward to assisting you.
-Dr. Ryan C. Holmes, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students
To Be Considered:
- The student must make a written request to the Dean of Students who has sole authority to grant such a request. Under normal circumstances, a student must have completed the time frame of the warning/probation and all other aspects of their prescribed sanction prior to being approved to begin the Program. Successful completion of the Program will result in shortening the time period for the external reporting of the student's conduct record by the Dean of Students. However, these files will be retained as inactive.
Suspension and expulsion records are maintained as active files indefinitely.
For more information, please contact the Dean of Students Office at (305) 284-5353 or doso@miami.edu.
