The following is the process in the case of a pending dismissal:
- The member will receive written notification of the reason for possible dismissal from the Chapter adviser. The member and Chapter adviser will discuss the written notification in a conference.
- The member will be offered a hearing with the Faculty Council prior to dismissal (in accordance with due process identified in the National Constitution). The member has the opportunity to present his/her defense. The Faculty Council will then vote on whether or not to dismiss. The Faculty Council may dismiss the member or impose disciplinary sanctions upon a member as deemed appropriate.
- A letter of dismissal will be sent to the principal, student, and parents if the student is dismissed. Dismissed members must surrender any membership emblems to the Chapter adviser.
- The member may appeal the Faculty Council's decision to the principal. The decision of the principal is considered final.
- When a student is dismissed or resigns, he or she is no longer a member and may never again be considered for membership in the National Honor Society.
