Dismissal is considered the most severe action in the Cooperative Education Program disciplinary process because it involves the permanent removal of a student from the program. This means that the student will not only be excluded from participation but also may face significant consequences, such as the inability to complete required coursework or loss of credits. Dismissal is typically reserved for serious violations of program policies or conduct that undermine the integrity of the educational environment.

In contrast, suspension may involve temporary removal, allowing the student an opportunity to rectify their behavior and possibly return to the program. Probation serves as a warning that certain conditions must be met to remain in the program, while a warning is often just a first step in highlighting unacceptable behavior without immediate severe repercussions. Each of these latter actions allows for a path to improvement or reinstatement, which emphasizes the severity of dismissal as a final measure.
