CHAPTER VI: STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE

  1. Maintenance of Disciplinary Records

    1. The official record of all UCSB students is the University transcript. Disciplinary actions taken against a student are not noted on the student's University transcript unless the student has been dismissed. In all such cases, the Office of the Registrar shall mark the permanent record card (from which transcripts are made) with ``Readmission Subject to Approval by the Chancellor.''

    2. Official disciplinary records are maintained in the office of the Dean of Students. The disciplinary hearing, the outcome, and all records relating to the case are confidential and not open to review except to University officials on a ``need to know'' basis as required by law, and as outlined in section 4 below.

    3. Disciplinary records will be maintained in the office of the Dean of Students for five years and then destroyed unless the Dean of Students determines there is good reason to retain the record beyond that date.

    4. When potential employers, governmental agencies, or other institutions of higher education solicit information about a student's conduct while attending UCSB and if the student has signed a release form accompanying the solicitation, the office of the Dean of Students will review the disciplinary records file to determine if the student has been found guilty of misconduct. In those cases where the student has such a record, the information will be provided to the requesting party.

    5. In order to insure that minor and non-recurring infractions do not negatively impact the student's academic career beyond UCSB, all disciplinary records will be reviewed by the committee of jurisdiction in order to determine whether the student's record should be expunged. A student may petition for such review at approximately two years from the date the initial sanction was imposed, or upon graduation from the University, whichever comes first.
The above is excerpted from the January, 1991 revision of the University of California, Santa Barbara Campus Regulations Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations, and Students. That document is available from the Office of the Dean of Students (893-4467).
