Pratt Munson College of Art and Design will denote outcomes of Prohibited Conduct on academic transcripts of students found in violation of this Policy that the College is required by federal law to include in its Annual Security Report. Transcript notations are applied at the conclusion of the hearing proceedings and appeals processes. The following are examples of language that may appear on an academic transcript (as applicable):
- “Expelled after a finding of responsibility for a Code of Conduct violation”
- “Suspended after a finding of responsibility for a Code of Conduct violation”
- “Withdrew with conduct charges pending”
Transcript notations for a student suspended or who chooses to withdraw pending conduct investigation will remain on a transcript for a minimum of one year. After one year’s time, a student may request to have the transcript notation removed by filing an appeal with the Academic Dean. If an appeal is not filed, the notation will be removed after seven years.
To file an appeal to have the transcript notation removed from an academic transcript, a student must submit in writing to the Academic Dean the following:
- A statement describing the incident and what was learned over their time away from the College.
- Documentation of successful completion of an in/outpatient program or therapy to address the conduct.
Transcript notations for students expelled are permanent and cannot be appealed. If a finding of responsibility is vacated for any reason, any such transcript notation shall be removed.
