Disciplinary Decision: When Does It Cease to Be Effective?

Circular 10 stipulates that depending on the form of disciplinary action, the duration of the cessation of the disciplinary decision's effectiveness will vary. To be specific:

- For students disciplined with a reprimand: After 03 months from the date of the disciplinary decision, if the student does not repeat the offense or commit any violations warranting disciplinary action, the disciplinary decision will naturally cease to be effective, and the student will enjoy the benefits from the date the disciplinary decision ceases to be effective.- For students disciplined with a warning: After 06 months from the date of the disciplinary decision, if the student does not repeat the offense or commit any violations warranting disciplinary action, the disciplinary decision will naturally cease to be effective, and the student will enjoy the benefits from the date the disciplinary decision ceases to be effective.- In the case of suspension from studies for a fixed term: Upon the expiration of the suspension period, the student must present certification from the local authority (commune, ward, commune-level town) of their residence regarding their good compliance with civic duties; a certification from the competent authority regarding the completion of a suspended prison sentence for the higher education institution to consider and allow the student to continue their studies if eligible.

Note, the competent authority deciding on the disciplinary action must clearly state the duration during which the student is subject to the disciplinary action, starting from the issuance of the disciplinary decision to the point when the disciplinary term expires as stipulated.

See details in Circular 10/2016/TT-BGDDT effective from May 23, 2016.
