<p>So an academic infraction is just a fancy word my school gives for a cheating offense, copying hw. I was told when one gets an academic infraction, the assistant principal checks a box titled 'reason to doubt student integrity.' I was wondering would this be detrimental and completely kill all chances at getting into dartmouth, and do you know anyone who had a similar incident but still got in? </p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>Dartmouth lives and dies by their honor code and they take allegations of cheating very seriously. If your school reports to Dartmouth that they doubt your integrity because of cheating it would greatly hurt your chances for admissions to the college.</p>
<p>If this academic infraction happened while you were in attendance at Dartmouth, you could find yourself parked (dismissed) for 3 terms.</p>
<p>Iono, I think that you can explain waht was happening in this box in the application. Can anyone verify that?</p>
<p>of course you cn explain what happened. However, Op asked would this type of infraction be detrimental to his admissions problems and the answer is yes, it will raise a flag.</p>
