institution, may not be present on campus nor at a university sponsored event for any reason. 13. University Expulsion: Permanent separation of the student from the University. The student may never again apply to, register for classes, attend classes, receive grades, or earn a degree from the institution. The student may never be present on campus or at a campus sponsored event for any reason.
F. Disciplinary Records
Disciplinary sanctions, with the exception of university expulsion, shall not be made part of the student’ s permanent academic record( official transcript), but shall become part of the student’ s confidential disciplinary record, subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act( FERPA). Pending cases will be retained as long as is administratively necessary as determined by the Vice President for Student Services and Dean of Students. Cases involving expulsion or suspension will be retained indefinitely. Other student conduct files will be retained for seven( 7) years from the date the student separates from the University. If a student under the age of twenty-one( 21) is found responsible for a violation of university policy involving alcohol and / or other drugs, the University may notify the student’ s parent( s) or guardian( s).
Gwynedd Mercy University considers certain violations of the Code as particularly egregious in nature and seriously detrimental to the health and safety of its community. The table below outlines the range of sanctions that may be imposed upon students who are found“ responsible” for violating specific provisions of the Gwynedd Mercy University Student Code of Conduct, and may not be the only sanctions issued. Each student will be sanctioned individually according to the circumstances of their violation. These sanctions are aligned with the behavioral expectations of our community. Complacency surrounding alcohol, drugs, violence, or any form of injustice will not be tolerated on this campus. This is the overarching rationale for Gwynedd Mercy University’ s assurance to be a safe and healthy campus learning environment, one that both challenges and inspires students to be academically and personally successful.
