Per the
UA student handbook...
At the University of Alabama,
students who are arrested are required to disclose the arrest to the Vice President of Student Affairs or the Office of Student Conduct within seven days. This disclosure obligation applies to arrests occurring both within and outside of Alabama, and regardless of whether the university is in session. Failure to disclose such arrests, unless under specific juvenile or youthful offender exceptions, is a violation of the University of Alabama Student Conduct Code.
UA Student Handbook specifically states...
(emphasis is mine)
Self-Disclosure of Arrests and Convictions
A student must disclose to the Vice President of Student Affairs or Office of Student Conduct any arrests or convictions for a criminal offenseâ€â€excluding minor traffic violations that do not result in an arrest or injury to othersâ€â€that occurs after the student is first admitted to the University. This disclosure obligation applies to all arrests and convictions described above that occur inside or outside the State of Alabama at any time, regardless of whether the University is in session at the time. Such disclosures must be made within seven (7) calendar days of the arrest and/or conviction. If the arrest or conviction involves a juvenile proceeding or a student has been granted youthful offender status with regard to the case, the student should seek the advice of counsel regarding the disclosure obligation in light of the relevant law of the state in which the conviction occurred. Failure to comply with this disclosure obligation without a valid legal basis for doing so under a juvenile or youthful offender exception shall be deemed a violation of the Student Conduct Code.
This is not meant to be a mechanism to adjudicate more violations as part of the Student Conduct Code. Our current assumption is that for most disclosures, there may be a follow-up email or conversation to fill in any necessary facts and context, and no additional formal follow-up will be required. For convictions occurring in Alabama, the Office of Student Conduct will also access the court records database of the relevant city or county to check the specific charges and status of each.
For the small number of serious infractions, there may be a meeting with a designee from Student Conduct to discuss what the student is doing to prevent a repeat offense or similar harmful behavior and also an offer of information regarding resources to assist the student in future decision-making. In rare cases, there may be a referral to Student Conduct for formal action. When necessary, the University's Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team may be notified.
