If disciplinary action is taken against a student and a sanction imposed, a record of the action including a copy of the Student Conduct/Discipline Report Form, Notice of Hearing Letter, and Decision will be placed in the student's disciplinary file maintained by the Judicial Officer.
Transcript Notation
If the student is suspended or expelled from DMACC, a notation will be placed on the student's transcript for the entire term of the student's suspension indicating that the student is suspended due to disciplinary action.
Release of Disciplinary Records
Disciplinary actions are part of the education records of the student, and consequently, are not available for public disclosure or discussion as they are protected by a federal law called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The College will not disclose information outside the College relating to the student's disciplinary record, except as allowed by law, if prior written permission from the student has not been received.
One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including security personnel and the campus nurse); a person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Directors; or a student serving on an official committee, such as the Petition for Policy Waiver Committee, College Review Board or College Judicial Hearing Board, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities. "College officials" include students serving on institutional committees. College officials who have access to student records in the course of performing their professional responsibilities shall not be permitted to release the record to persons outside the College, unless authorized in writing by the student or unless one of the exceptions stated earlier applies.
