University of Delaware students will get a chance to not have a minor infraction haunt them in the search for a job.
The UDaily site reported the university joined a small number of institutions in allowing students to apply for a limited release of certain conduct records.
The policy became effective at the end of the fall semester and marked a joint effort between the university and student government.
Previously, any student found responsible for violating the Code of Conduct would need to disclose all details of their conduct record both with university officials and those making inquiries, including potential employers and graduate schools.
Students with one minor infraction committed three semesters or more ago may apply to have that information withheld from external parties.
Conduct records continue to be maintained by the university and released when required, the story noted.
