Judicial Programs - Parental Notification

The Parental Notification Policy is effective May 15, 2006.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) has given colleges/ universities the option to notify parents or guardians about specific types of information from a student's judicial record.

The Office of Judicial Programs will notify parents or guardians the first time and every subsequent time a student is found to have violated Code of Conduct policies on the use or possession of alcohol or other drugs when he/she is under the age of 21.

PLEASE NOTE: Parents or guardians may receive correspondence or copies of arrest reports from The Dawg Catcher. This anonymous person or organization is not affiliated with the University of Georgia Office of Judicial Programs. The Office of Judicial Programs only notifies parents when a student is found to have violated Code of Conduct policies on the use or possession of alcohol or other drugs through a formal hearing or informal resolution.
