Anyone may contact Student Rights & Accountability for consultation about a possible concern. Talking with Student Rights & Accountability does not obligate a person to file a report; typically, investigations do not begin unless a report is filed. Reports can be filed formally or informally (more information below), depending on the severity of the issue.

The Director of Student Rights & Accountability is responsible for investigating concerns regarding student conduct, and violations of the Student Rights and Responsibilities Code.

Yes.

However, not all reports are automatically entered into a student disciplinary record (such as reports of concerns that don't rise to the level of a policy violation).

If a student is found to have violated a policy and a permanent disciplinary record is kept, they still have the option to request that their record be expunged after a certain amount of time and depending on the severity of the violation.

Submit requests to expunge disciplinary records to the Director of UVU Student Rights & Accountability, Maren Turnidge.

In order to accomplish the educational goals of the process, to provide timely due process, and to avoid unnecessary complications to the investigatory process (because witnesses and/or evidence may no longer be available, memories fade, etc.), you are strongly urged to submit your concern immediately upon discovery.

If you with to discuss the process informally, please do not hesitate contact the Office of Student Rights & Accountability.

Not entered in to the student's disciplinary file. Typically, informal reports are made  for first-time and/or minor offenses that do not result in grade reduction, failing grade, or removal from class. Informal records may become formal records if a student is found responsible for multiple academic infractions.

Entered in to the student's disciplinary file with the University. Formal records usually result from academic infractions that result in a failing grade, academic probation, suspension, or expulsion. Egregious violations or multiple violations will be entered as permanent records.
