All disciplinary offences are captured in students’ official records with the University. With the exception of notations in transcripts for academic suspensions*, disciplinary records and offences are not indicated in students’ transcripts or degree scrolls, and the University does not provide any information to external parties without the consent of our students. Records will be provided under the following circumstances:

• to law enforcement agencies for the purpose of investigations and legal proceedings;
• to scholarship providers for the evaluation of their existing scholarship holders where the scholarship is administered through NUS; and
• to professional licensing bodies which issue practising certificates upon request (e.g. Singapore Medical Council, Allied Health Professions Council, Law Society of Singapore, etc.).

Within NUS, where there are justifiable reasons, disciplinary records shall be shared. It should be noted that where student consent is provided for the disclosure of student disciplinary history to external parties, e.g. potential employers, universities/schools, scholarship sponsors, etc., ‘Minor’ offences are usually excluded from the reports.

*Transcript notation for disciplinary offences resulting in academic suspensions

With reference to clause 12 of NUS Statute 6 Discipline with Respect to Students, all (interim and final) academic transcripts of student offenders will bear a notation reflecting the period of suspension. At the request of the student, the notation may be expunged from the student’s transcript three years from the date the student graduates from the University and the University may in its absolute discretion decide to allow or reject such a request.
