Pursuant to SUNY’s Records Retention and Disposition policy, all student disciplinary records will be retained for a period of seven (7) years from the end of the academic year in which the Student Conduct Referral was resolved. However, there is one exception, student conduct referrals resulting in either disciplinary dismissal/expulsion or a transcript notation of “withdrew with conduct charges pending” will be kept indefinitely.

If you are a third party looking for disciplinary records, please visit our Requesting Student Disciplinary Records page for further information on how to complete your request. As per the Records Retention Policy, if Community Standards has a student disciplinary record, they may only release the record in accordance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). As such, students must authorize the University to release their disciplinary records. We encourage you to direct the student to complete this form themselves to approve your access to their disciplinary records.
