Records Retention
Back to Judicial Processes and Procedures
Disciplinary records, both electronic and paper, are retained for six years after the date that a student first enters the university. After this time, those records are destroyed. Our records retention policy states:
Records in the Office for Student Judicial Affairs, excluding records of students who are expelled, are maintained for six years from the time of matriculation to the University. A student may, at the time of graduation, request in writing that his/her disciplinary record be destroyed. The record will be evaluated by the Director of Student Judicial Affairs, who will make the decision concerning the keeping or destruction of that record. This decision will be made in accordance with provisions set forth in sections 6C1-4.026 (3) of the Florida Administrative Code, which establishes that records of students who have serious offenses or two or more offenses, will not be destroyed until six years from matriculation. Records of students who are expelled are permanent.
