• Disciplinary verification form: A form with a signed release is provided by the requestor and uploaded with the Dean's Certifications/Background Checks form.

What information will be disclosed?

Please note that student conduct files related to non-academic misconduct are retained until a student graduates or for the period of five (5) years, whichever occurs sooner, except for those resulting in suspension and dismissal, which are retained indefinitely.
