Code of Student Conduct
Student Files and Degrees
Student File Encumbrances
43. In pending cases that could result in suspension or expulsion, a temporary encumbrance will normally be placed on a student's records by the Assistant Director of Residence Life for Student Conduct or a designee.
Disciplinary Files and Records
44. Case referrals will result in the development of a disciplinary file in the name of the respondent. A student’s disciplinary file will indicate a finding of “not responsible” and shall not leave any student with a disciplinary record for that particular case. Voided files will normally be destroyed after one year.
45. The files of students found responsible of any charges against them will normally be retained as a disciplinary record for seven years from the date of a copy of the e-mail or letter providing notice of final disciplinary action.
46. Disciplinary records may be voided by the Assistant Director of Student Conduct or a designee for good cause, upon written petition. Factors to be considered in review of such petitions shall include:
- The present demeanor of the student;
- The conduct of the student subsequent to the violation;
- The nature of the violation and the severity of any damage, injury or harm
resulting from it.
Revocation of degrees
47. The university reserves the right to revoke an awarded degree for fraud in receipt of the degree or for serious disciplinary violations committed by a student prior to the student's graduation.
