Discipline Records

Discipline files are maintained online and in the Office of Residence Life. They are confidential records open only to authorized faculty or administrators. Students may review their own records under the supervision of an appropriate member of the staff. Students may request copies as needed for the preparation of their case for a hearing.

Reviews for outside agencies -- for example, branches of the federal government doing background investigations -- will only be done based upon authorization signed by the student. Subpoenas of a student’s record will be honored. The student will, however, be notified before the records are submitted unless the subpoena specifically directs the university or staff member not to notify the student. Only notices of university suspension or expulsion will be included in the student’s educational record.
