Academic Disciplinary Actions Records Retention and Reporting
Records of academic disciplinary actions proceedings are confidential and are not released without the consent of the current/former student or as otherwise required or authorized by law or court order. With the exceptions as noted below, records of academic disciplinary actions proceedings are retained for three years after final separation of the student from the university. For purposes of determining final separation from the university, a student must be separated for three continuous years. If a student reenrolls in any student program within three years, the calculation of the final separation date will reset.
Consistent with the Student Privacy Rights Policy, for purposes of academic disciplinary actions record checks, information from these records is only provided, with appropriate authorization as necessary, for three years after final separation from the university (as defined above) provided the student has fulfilled all obligations to the university.
The file may be maintained indefinitely and reported longer than three years after the student separates from the university if a student has not fulfilled all obligations or has not resolved a pending Academic Integrity violation.
Records of academic disciplinary actions proceedings resulting in the permanent separation of a student from the university (e.g., expulsion) will be maintained and reported indefinitely.
Case-specific questions regarding timeframes for academic disciplinary actions records retention and reporting can be directed to the Office of Community Standards & Integrity.
