Regulations, Procedures, and Degree Requirements 49 Student Rights and Responsibilities All information, both verbal and written, exchanged in the hearing shall be confidential, subject to applicable provisions of the Fair Information Practices Regulations of the University and applicable state and federal laws. 4. Within (10) ten business days after completion of its hearing and review, the Panel will make a report of its findings and recommendations to the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, upholding, reversing, or modifying the Student Affairs Designee’s decisions. Within (10) ten business days of the receipt of this report, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs will accept or reject, in whole or in part, the Panel’s findings. The decision of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs is the final University disposition of the matter and is not subject to further appeal, except in cases of expulsion. Expulsions may be appealed to the Chancellor within (10) ten business days of the decision to expel. 8. Counseling/Training/Community Service: When appropriate, students may be required to seek counseling or training or to perform community service as a condition of readmission to or continued attendance at the University. Restrictions and Trespass: The student is subject to arrest if he/she enters University premises (either generally or specific areas as noted in the sanction) without seeking prior approval from the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs or his/her designee, who in turn will notify Campus Police. 9. 10. Sanction Held in Abeyance: If there are sufficiently extenuating circumstances, the sanction is assessed but not imposed. The sanction may be imposed at a later time, however, if the student is subsequently found responsible for other violations of the Code. 11. Local, State, and Federal Charges: In cases where criminal or civil charges may apply, a case may be referred to local, state, or federal authorities. C. University/Misconduct Sanctions Disciplinary Sanctions which may be imposed for misconduct shall include one or more of the following. Further infractions of University regulations will result in more severe disciplinary sanctions than those originally imposed. 1. Case Dismissed: An action which closes the case for any one of the following reasons: a “not responsible” finding is reached, or there is lack of sufficient information and/or evidence. Verbal Warning: The lightest form of disciplinary action. This will be documented in the decision letter. Written Reprimand: An official written notice to a student that his/her conduct is in violation of University rules or regulations and will not be tolerated. Disciplinary Probation: A more severe sanction than a reprimand. For the duration of a stated probationary period, no less than one month, the student must demonstrate a willingness to comply with University rules or regulations or other stipulated conditions or requirements, which may include forfeiture of the privilege of participation in club or team activities or other University-based extracurricular activities. While on Disciplinary Probation, a student may not represent the University in any context, run for or hold office in any student organizations or participate in intercollegiate athletic teams, intramural programs, or any student clubs or organizations. Suspension from the University: Withdrawal from all divisions of the University and premises for a period no less than one semester or fifteen (15) weeks. The suspension period will be stated in writing at the time of its imposition. Expulsion from the University: Permanent separation from the University. An expelled student may not be readmitted to any of the University’s academic units, and a notation of expulsion may be placed on the student’s official University transcript. Restitution: The assessment of financial charges or other forms of recompense for any damage or loss incurred by the University or any members of the University community. Student right to review University records (The Family Educational rights and Privacy Act of 1974) In accordance with Public Law 93-98, the university wishes to inform all UMass Boston students of their rights to review their educational records on file at the university. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 sets forth requirements designed to protect the privacy of parents and students with regard to access, review, or release of records maintained by educational institutions. The Act permits current or former students to review the following documents: permanent academic record, admissions, financial, placement, veteran’s, counseling, advising, and disciplinary records. Access to these records may also be granted to faculty and staff, parents of a student listed as a dependent on Federal Income Tax returns, authorized federal or state officials auditing education programs, and accrediting associations. Any UMass Boston graduate student wishing to examine his/her education record should so request one of the following offices directly: • Graduate Studies • Financial Aid Services • Health Service • Graduate Admissions • University Registrar The following records may not be examined: parents’ financial records, medical, psychiatric or psychological records, personal files of faculty or administrative personnel, law enforcement records held by law enforcement officials. Directory information may be released to third parties without the written consent of the student, provided the student has been given the opportunity to withhold all such disclosure. Directory information includes: the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, degrees and awards conferred. Procedure for gaining access to records: a request by a student for access to a record is made in writing to the office which maintains the record. Within 45 days the office must inform the student when the record will be available. Every office is also obliged to tell students, at their request, who else has had access to their record and why. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
