Disciplinary Checks/Dean's Certification Forms
Current/Former Students:
If you would like to know what is contained in your disciplinary record, please complete the OSSJA Records Request and select the first option "Informal summary of my education record" in the Records Requested section.
Dean's Certification/Disciplinary Standing Forms:
- If you need a disciplinary form to be completed, be sure to complete and sign any section (usually at the top) that says “for the student” or “to be completed by the student” before submitting to our office.
- Please complete our OSSJA Dean's Certification Request and select the second option "Completion of Dean's Certification Form” in the Records Requested section. Be sure you included the school name and the email where it should be sent and attach the form to be completed.
- If there is a section or questions of the form that ask about academic performance, please submit first to the Office of the University Registrar (OUR) or an academic advisor:
- OUR: Complete the Education Verification Request Form and submit it, along with your College Report form, to the OUR through their Contact an Expert tool, and ask them to forward to OSSJA (ossja@ucdavis.edu) when their portion is complete.
- Academic Advisor: You may have your major advisor or a Dean's Office advisor complete the academic section and forward to ossja@ucdavis.edu.
- Our office can only answer disciplinary questions, then will send the form directly to the requesting institution.
Our office generally strives to respond within 3-7 business days. If you have any questions, please call the OSSJA office (530-752-1128) or email us (ossja@ucdavis.edu).
