Conduct Records
Student records, including files from conduct cases maintained by the University, are treated with appropriate confidentiality, in accordance with the University policy on student records and relevant legal standards. Academic transcripts issued during periods of suspension or expulsion will be accompanied by a letter from the registrar indicating that the student is currently suspended or expelled from the University for conduct reasons. University staff who have knowledge of action taken against a student for misconduct may on occasion be asked to respond to inquiries regarding the student’s involvement. In accordance with the confidentiality of such records, the University officer may only reveal such information with the authorization of the student, except when allowed by law or when the University perceives a significant risk to the safety or well-being of that student or others. Conduct files are normally destroyed seven years after the student’s last incident or separation from the University. However, certain University officials may indefinitely retain records in other appropriate circumstances.
