(or graduate) involved. Unofficial copies of a transcript will be made available to the student (or
graduate) involved on his/her request.
Records of disciplinary actions not involving the student's eligibility for readmission will be
maintained by the College as the responsibility of the Dean of Students until graduation, at which
time these records will be destroyed. In case of a non-graduate who is not eligible for
readmission, such records will be destroyed at time of withdrawal or expulsion. Transcripts of
cases where disciplinary action leads to a student's ineligibility for readmission to the College
(suspension or expulsion), will be revealed to College officials who have a legitimate need to
know in the discharging of their official duties.
Financial aid records will be maintained by the College as long as the student (or graduate) has a
promissory note or notes outstanding through a college loan program. Except for the purpose of
official audits, financial aid records will be made available to persons outside the College only
upon formal written request of the student (or graduate) involved.
Student health records will be maintained by the College Health Center, as prescribed by
professional ethics and the laws of the State.
Tougaloo College observes all federal and state legal requirements regarding confidentiality,
accessibility and maintenance of student records.
