C. 10 Disciplinary Notations on Academic Transcripts An academic transcript is a complete record of the student’s academic performance and enrollment history, which may also reflect disciplinary actions, behavioral misconduct, and administrative decisions. Major sanctions such as suspension and expulsion are explicitly noted on the student’s transcript. Additionally, if a student withdraws from the University while a disciplinary matter is pending, the University may place a notation on the student’s academic transcript indicating that the student withdrew with conduct charges pending. The notations may remain until the disciplinary matter is resolved or as otherwise provided by University policy. D. Discrimination Grievance Procedures for Students Nova Southeastern University (“University”) has established the below grievance procedures to review, investigate, and resolve allegations of discrimination in violation of the University Non-Discrimination Policy. When another complaint procedure applies (e.g., appeals of student conduct determinations, grade disputes, disability accommodation appeals, etc.,) those should be pursued instead. Complaint Procedures Filing a Complaint A written, formal complaint must be submitted in writing*by a student and must provide detailed description of the alleged acts of discrimination and may include any supporting information and/or potential witnesses. Complaints provided by non-students will be referred to the appropriate University office or official. Complaints alleging sex-based discrimination should be directed to: Title IX Coordinator • (954) 262-7858 • titleIX@nova.edu Website and online reporting form are available at nova.edu/title-ix. Complaints alleging all other discrimination should be directed to: Office of the Dean of Students • (954) 262-7281 • bj379@nova.edu Website and online reporting form are available at https://www.nova.edu/student-conduct/report-aconcern.html The appropriate University official designated above will be responsible for overseeing the University’s response to the applicable complaint and may appoint a designee at any time. If either a complainant or a respondent is both a student and an employee, the University official will consider the context in which the alleged discrimination occurred. *NSU also will accept oral complaints from individuals who have difficulty writing a complaint, including those with disabilities if they are unable to file a written complaint.
