Student Conduct Records

Whenever a student or organization is found responsible of a violation through the conduct system, a copy of the finding is placed in a student's disciplinary file. All conduct records and disciplinary files are maintained in the Office of the Vice President for College Life & Dean of Students and are protected by the confidentiality afforded students through the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (Buckley Amendment).

Student disciplinary files are kept until the student graduates, officially withdraws or 3 years following departure if a student does not graduate. If a student is expelled suspended, or possibly involved in future litigation, the file may be kept for a longer period of time.

The Office of the Vice President for College Life & Dean of Students may provide and publish summary statistics concerning the nature of offenses and the types of sanctions given. These statistics will be prepared in such a way as to protect the identity of the students involved.
