THE CHARGE
Purpose Established in 2018, the AACRAO Board of Directors charged the work group with developing guidance and best practices concerning the use of student criminal history in the college admissions process. The work group reviewed the report from the AACRAO Disciplinary Notations Work Group to develop guidance and best practices related to the receipt of student transcripts with disciplinary notations or other notifications of disciplinary infractions at previous institutions.
Composition The work group was comprised of AACRAO members representing diverse positions, institutional types, and geographic locations. The work group also included representatives from other higher education associations to bring their organizations' perspectives and expertise to these issues.
Sub-Groups The work group created two sub-groups to: 1. review the Criminal History question on Admission applications. 2. develop best practices in the admission process when a school receives an application with a disciplinary notation on
their transcript and/or a criminal history.
Listening Sessions The work group held nine listening sessions at the following meetings: ? 2018 AACRAO SEM meeting ? State and Regional Meetings: Texas, Illinois, Louisiana, Chesapeake and Potomac Maryland Community College Chief
Student Affairs Officers ? National Institute for the Student of Transfer Students ? 2019 AACRAO Annual Meeting ? AAU Chief Enrollment Officers Annual Meeting
Outcomes and Responsibilities The work group developed: ? a set of recommendations for the use of the disciplinary notations in the admission process. ? a set of recommendations regarding criminal history questions in the admissions application. These include the
placement of questions and the timing of collection of this information (prior to or after admission). ? a set of recommendations for review by the AACRAO Board for presentation to membership for feedback and
implementation.
