Petitioning Removal of a Transcript Notation
According to the Code of Student Conduct "Students found responsible for an academic integrity violation will normally have a notation placed on the student's academic transcript."
A student may petition the Director of Student Conduct & Academic Integrity to have the notation removed from the student's academic transcript if:
- The student's period of conduct probation has expired; and
- The student has successfully completed the Academic Integrity Tutorial, and any other outstanding sanctions; and
- The student has not been found to have engaged in other Academic Integrity violations during the student's tenure at the University.
The Director will normally notify the student of the decision whether to remove the notation within 15 business days of receiving the petition.
The notation will not be removed from the student's transcript when the violation involved substantial premeditation of deliberate conduct. A student may only petition to have one notation removed from the student's transcript. Any subsequent violations that result in a transcript notation will not be eligible for removal.
