The maintenance of such records is described in detail in Section XIV of the <a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/studentconduct\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Student Code of Conduct<\/a>. The University maintains student conduct records separately from student academic records.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>If you have a hold on your account:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Please email Student Conduct &amp; Community Standards at <a href=\"mailto:studentconduct@utk.edu\">studentconduct@utk.edu<\/a> or call the office at 865-974-3171 to discuss the hold and the steps to remove it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>If you are seeking readmission to the University of Tennessee:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When a student is separated from the University due to conduct related matters they must reapply to the University and follow the admission requirements outlined for <a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.utk.edu\/undergraduate-application\/readmission-student-application\/\">readmission students<\/a>. Readmission, even if you have a disciplinary record, is overseen by the Office of Admissions. Students must be up to date on any conduct sanctions when reapplying, as Admissions will conduct a check with SCCS to ensure all terms of any sanctions are complete. Students should begin the process of readmissions <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">before<\/span><\/strong> their separation return date, as the readmission process takes time.<\/p>\n<p>Once a student is readmitted they must contact SCCS to have their conduct hold removed and check to ensure they are in compliance with any remaining sanctions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>If you are seeking your disciplinary record:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>After a student is no longer enrolled in the University, SCCS will disclose a student\u2019s disciplinary records to persons outside of SCCS only if one of the following sanctions was imposed on the student while the student was enrolled in the University: suspension; expulsion; withholding of degree; or revocation of degree. To request your conduct record, please send an email to <a href=\"mailto:studentconduct@utk.edu\">studentconduct@utk.edu<\/a> with the following information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Include the full name as it appeared when you attended the University of Tennessee<\/li>\n<li>Include your date of birth<\/li>\n<li>Indicate whether the information is going to a third party or if it is for your personal records. Students are entitled to full summaries of their conduct records, however, if the information is going to a third party SCCS will follow the disclosure process outlined in Section XIV of the <a href=\"https:\/\/studentlife.utk.edu\/studentconduct\/\">Student Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>If you are seeking to petition the removal of an Indefinite Suspension:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the past, SCCS placed students on indefinite suspension. Please note, however, that a 2017 revision to the Code of Conduct removed indefinite suspension as a sanction. A student previously placed on indefinite suspension may petition the university to lift the sanction.
