Part 6: Maintenance and Review of Student Conduct Files

Part 6. Maintenance and Review of Student Conduct Files

Student conduct files are maintained separately from any other academic or official file at the university by the Dean of Students Office. Generally, information from files is not released without the written consent of the student. However, certain information may be provided to individuals within or outside the University who have a legitimate legal or educational interest in obtaining it. Please refer to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. 

A student’s conduct file, including related documents, will be kept for seven (7) years from the date of the last incident. This may include electronic and hard copy files. The student conduct file of an expelled student shall be retained indefinitely. 

The Director for Student Conduct & Restorative Practices, or designee, has the final authority regarding the inspection, review, or release of any conduct file.
