Records and Transcripts
The Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability maintains a disciplinary record for every student found responsible for a violation of the University Student Code of Conduct. Disciplinary files are considered educational records and cannot be provided to outside parties without the student's permission. However, some employers and graduate and professional schools require that applicants authorize the release of their disciplinary records in order to be considered for employment or admission. A Release Authorization Form is required to release a student's disciplinary file.
The files maintained by the Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability are separate from transcripts, which are maintained by the registrar's office. If a student is suspended or expelled for a disciplinary infraction, that sanction will be noted on his or her transcript. A suspension is noted only during the suspension period; once the suspension has been served, the notation is removed from the transcript. Expulsions are permanently noted, except in certain cases where clemency has been granted.
