Policy on Student Notification Responsibilities

Policy

Update Contact information

It is the student’s responsibility to assure that the school and UTHealth have viable contact information at all times. Students are required annually to update their contact information, including emergency contact, mailing address and phone numbers, on MyUTH. This ensures that they can be reached throughout the year. Students may be dis-enrolled for failure to respond to communications from the school and failure to respond to official communication from the school within 30 calendar days may result in the student’s dismissal.

Disclosure of Arrest/Criminal Charges

Enrolled students are required to disclose within five days of occurrence to their respective Dean or designees any arrests for and/or criminal charges of all misdemeanor or felony offenses (other than minor traffic violations), any misdemeanor or felony convictions and/or deferrals of adjudication, community supervision and/or other pre-trial diversion or dispositions (other than minor traffic violations) and whether they are registered or will be required to register as a sex offender. Nondisclosure or falsification of this information will be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from a program.
