Disciplinary Records

Disciplinary records are kept on file for as long as the student attends Waynesburg University, and for seven years following graduation or withdrawal. If a student is not permitted to return to the University resulting from disciplinary action, that record will be maintained for those purposes. Disciplinary actions taken become the basis for more severe sanctions during the entire time a student attends Waynesburg University. Student discipline records consist of any official University disciplinary action taken or mediation contracts.

While the University intends to comply with the standards of the Family Education Rights and
Privacy Act (1974), in certain situations when the educational interests of the University and/or
the student are substantially affected, it may be deemed appropriate to communicate with a
student’s parents and to disclose information contained in his/her file. Waynesburg University
will, upon written request, disclose to the alleged victim of a crime of violence or a nonforcible
sex offense, or to the alleged victim’s next of kin (if the victim dies as a result of the crime or
offense), the final results of any institutional disciplinary proceeding dealing with that crime or
offense.

Disposition of Fines

Fines must be paid by the date assigned or further disciplinary action will likely be taken which could include University transcripts not being released. Fines received for payment of damage to property will be deposited in an account to benefit the damaged building. Fines resulting from other disciplinary action will be deposited in an account benefiting students. Fines are not payable by coin.
