Records Requests and Holds

Records Request

Dean certifications and behavioral standing letters

Students and alumni who are applying to other academic institutions or for employment which requires a disclosure of prior conduct information are required to complete a Dean Certification or Letter of Behavioral Standing. Because conduct records are considered educational records protected by FERPA, Student Conduct and Academic Integrity (SCAI) does not share information regarding conduct records with anyone outside of FIU without a written consent. Thus, a release authorization from the student is mandatory. SCAI does not release prior conduct information over the phone as we are unable to verify the identity of the caller.

Please note that SCAI will process a completed request within 5-10 business days of receipt. For questions, contact the office at 305-348-3939. 

  • Requesting a Letter of Behavioral Standing

    Student Conduct and Academic Integrity will provide a general notice to verify good standing or informing the recipient of the general facts of any incident(s), violation(s), and sanction(s) as applicable. To request a letter, the Disciplinary Records Request Form must be completed with the "I request that FIU SCAI write a letter detailing my disciplinary history at FIU" option selected.

  • Requesting a Dean Certification (electronic)

    If your Transfer Report/Dean Certification form can be submitted to the institution(s) via fax or email, please upload the completed form via the Disciplinary Records Request Form with the "I request that FIU SCAI release any information necessary to appropriately complete the attached Dean's Certification Form." option selected.

Holds

There may be a few reasons why you have a conduct hold:

  • You may have missed your Information Session;
  • You have an overdue sanction;
  • You are close to graduating and have a pending matter with SCAI; or
  • You are currently suspended or expelled from the University.  

To gather additional information related to your hold, please contact the Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity at (305) 348–3939 or via email at conduct@fiu.edu.

Transcript Holds

  • If you are requesting a transcript and have been informed that you have a SCAI hold, please complete the Hold Lift Request Form for Transcripts to request a temporary lift of the hold
  • Keep note about transcript requests being submitted through my.fiu.edu if no conduct hold exists on the students account
