Community Standards Record Retention

1. Records of all University Community Standards actions are maintained in the student’s discipline files, located in the Office of the Dean of Students or Department of Housing and Residence Life. These files are expunged seven years after a student’s last date of enrollment at the University. Files which include a suspension, expulsion, and/or revocation of admission or degree from the University are kept on file indefinitely.
    
2. All records are considered confidential and, as such, are fully protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. 
    
3. Recordings of reviews may be made by the Department of Community Development or Department of Housing and Residence Life. Students may have access to listen to and make notes of any tapes made during his or her review solely for the purposes of preparing an appeal.
