The Dean of Students Office provides disciplinary reference checks for students who are applying for work with a government-affiliated agency. Background checks are also provided for students applying to attend other Universities & Colleges. This is sometimes called a Dean's Certification.
If you are a student trying to apply to another University or College, you must provide a signed release form with your signature and date for our office to share any requested disciplinary information. Most Universities, Colleges, and agencies provide their own forms. If you do not have a release form, one can be provided.
The Dean of Students Office follows the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) which prohibits the disclosure of student information without the written permission of the student.
