Title IX & Gender-Based Misconduct Transcript Notation

The College shall make a notation on the transcript of a student found responsible for violating the College’s Title IX & Gender-Based Misconduct Policy and sanctioned with suspension or expulsion that they were “suspended after a finding of responsibility for a code of conduct violation” or “dismissed after a finding of responsibility for a code of conduct violation.” If a student respondent withdraws from the College after the respondent has been put on notice of the investigation, while such conduct charges are pending, and declines to complete the disciplinary process, the College shall make a notation on the student’s transcript that they “withdrew with conduct charges pending.”

Students who are suspended after a finding of responsibility for a gender-based misconduct violation may submit a written appeal to the Title IX Coordinator requesting that the notation be removed from their transcript. Such a notation shall not be removed prior to one year after the conclusion of the suspension and requests will not be considered before such time. Requests will be reviewed by the Title IX Coordinator and either the Vice President and Dean of Students for undergraduate students or the Dean of Graduate Students for graduate students. Such requests should include a personal statement and be no more than ten single-spaced pages with size 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. Notations for dismissal will not be considered or removed. If a finding of responsibility is vacated for any reason, any such transcript notation shall be removed.
