Challenging Records

In the event the student feels that any part of his or her record is inaccurate or no longer useful, he/she may challenge its contents. The procedure for challenging records is as follows:

1. The student notifies the dean of student affairs, in writing, of the desire to challenge the record, identifying part(s) of the record to be challenged and reasons for altering or removing those parts.
2. The dean of student affairs will examine the student’s record, and if the dean judges the student’s request to be valid, he/she may grant the request and or- der change or deletion of parts of the record. Written notice of this action will be given to the student and to the registrar.
3. If, after examining the student’s records, the dean of student affairs feels the need for more information, a hearing will be scheduled. The student may bring counsel to present the case to the dean of student affairs. A decision will be made on the record challenge and presented to the student in writing.
