Colleges and universities vary widely in the student misconduct issues that they consider “reportable” to outside agencies, potential employers, and graduate or professional programs.
The practice of the Dean of Students Office at Genesee Community College is to report any formal disciplinary action taken against a student that results in a finding of responsibility for a Genesee Community College policy violation and a sanction of disciplinary probation or greater. Our status sanctions, in order of increasing severity, are: verbal warning, written warning, disciplinary probation, deferred suspension, suspension, and expulsion. A matter usually receives one of these statuses in addition to other educational, restorative, restrictive, or financial sanctions, as described in Section 6.7.
Disciplinary records are maintained for seven (7) years after the end of an academic year. Suspension and expulsion records continue to be maintained longer.
