VII. Conduct Files and Records
Case referrals will result in the development of a conduct file in the name of the respondent. If the student is found not responsible for the allegations, the file will be marked no action. A no action record will not constitute a conduct record. Student Conduct records with sanctions less than suspension or expulsion will be maintained in the Dean of Students office for seven years following the calendar year of record and then destroyed. Records of cases in which suspension from the university occurred are kept for at least 10 years. Records of cases in which expulsion from the university occurred are kept indefinitely.
All conduct records are education records and may not be disclosed in whole or in part except as provided by law, by the written authorization of the student, under legal compulsion or where the safety of other persons may be involved. Conduct records are maintained separate from the student’s academic record but are part of the student’s educational record.
Revision
The Student Code shall be reviewed every five (5) years under the direction of the Vice President for Student Success and Human Resources. (Regents 05/11/04)
