Designated school officials (DSOs) must report in Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) within 21 days of any disciplinary action the school takes against a student as a direct result of a criminal conviction. Such action may include barring the student from campus, suspension, and expulsion of the student.
For additional information on reporting requirements:
- 8 CFR § 214.3(g)(1)
- 8 CFR § 214.3(g)(2)(ii)(D)
Warning: Disciplinary action that requires reporting in SEVIS is limited to action taken that is a direct result of a criminal conviction. Do NOT use this function to report actions that are not crime-related, such as:
- Placement on academic probation
- Student life infractions
Note: This does not terminate the student record.
