ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION:

Student Conduct Records and Release of Information

Conduct records, except for Title IX records, are maintained by the Student Conduct Officer within the Office of Student Affairs. The Student Conduct Officer is responsible for safeguarding the conduct records and ensuring privacy.

Files documenting academic integrity code violations, suspensions, and expulsions, including any records of previous student conduct action, shall be indefinitely maintained by the Student Conduct Officer in accordance with KRS 164.370. The student’s admission record will indicate any action that prohibits readmission as long as the suspension/dismissal is in effect.

Files documenting student conduct violations, other than those leading to expulsion/dismissal of a student, will be retained until either three (3) years after graduation, three (3) years after the last date of attendance, or three (3) years after all sanctions have been met, whichever is longer, in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statute 164.370.

If a student fails to complete a sanction, the student’s record will be annotated so as to restrict that student from registering for new courses. Once the sanction has been completed or removed—either by expiration or by action of the Student Conduct Officer—the notation will be removed from the record by the Student Conduct Officer.

The Student Conduct Officer or his or her designee may place an administrative hold on a student’s account in order to compel the student’s compliance with a reasonable request, administrative protocol, student conduct process, or sanction.

The University shall electronically publish reports of student discipline in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statute 164.370.
