Code of Community Conduct
XII. In cases of multiple charges where more than one policy is implicated:
- the procedures governing Sexual Misconduct conduct charges will take precedence over those governing Academic Integrity conduct charges and Code of Community conduct charges.
- the procedures governing Academic Integrity conduct charges will take precedence over those governing all other conduct charges except Sexual Misconduct.
XIII. Record
-
Records of all disciplinary actions by hearing boards and officers are considered educational records under FERPA. For additional information, see http://www.admin.mtu.edu/em/faculty/ferpa/privacyfaq.php
-
Records of disciplinary actions shall be maintained by the Dean of Students in accordance with the Student Affairs document retention policy. Records of incidents reportable under the Campus Security Act will be retained for seven (7) years from the date of the incident; records of incidents resulting in suspension (when the student does not return to the University) or expulsion will be retained indefinitely; and all other records will be retained for two (2) years following graduation or official withdrawal from the University.
-
With the exception of the sanction of Expulsion, and Special Failing Grades (F*, U* and E* under the Academic Integrity Policy), disciplinary sanctions do not appear on University transcripts.
- In the case of pending actions where an academic grade cannot be assigned, the Registrar may assign a grade of “M” which is not calculated into the student’s GPA.
XVI. Revocation of Degree. The University reserves the right to revoke an awarded degree for fraud in receipt of the degree, or for serious disciplinary violations committed by a student prior to the student’s graduation.
