Application question

Applying to College
1

<p>Are you currently, or have you ever been, charged with, or subject to, disciplinary action for scholastic or any other type of misconduct at any high school, college, or university?</p>

<p>in 10th grade i got accused of cheating and got an honor code violation (i didn't cheat, som1 behind me had the same answers as me so i was accused as giving/receiving answers). A copy of the honor code was sent to my house, but i did not get an meeting with the counsellor about it as the form said I would. I also did not receive any other punishment: no suspension or detention.
So, my question was do I include the cheating accusation? I have been told that this question only asks if you have basically been suspended, because it says 'have you ever been subject to disciplinary action' which I have not been. So...do I put no as the answer for the question? Because I have also been told that honor codes are handled by the counsellor. I talked to him about it and he said i shouldn't be worried. I have not been accused more than once and I think that the counsellor believes me.
But thats not the point of the subject, I just want to know if the question includes Honor Code violation without punishment.</p>

<p>I noticed that they ask this question on every application I have filled out so far (3 total) so I am pretty sure that this question just relates to suspensions. But, I just want to make sure. Any advice would be great, thanks.</p>

<p>can anyone please help me?</p>

<p>I think you need to read the question very carefully. If it says only "Have you ever been suspended?" then you can honestly say no.</p>

<p>Sorry, I just reread your post and see that the question says "disciplinary action." Is an honor code violation considered a formal disciplinary action at your school? If not, you can forget about it.</p>

<p>i do not know, how can i find out? should i ask my counsellor or is could there be a reference on the school website/handbook?</p>

<p>If you can't find it in the school handbook, maybe you can find it in the district policies (which are usually online these days). I really don't think it would be a formal disciplinary action but that's just my opinion. I would ask your counselor if you can't find it anywhere else.</p>
