Detention effects on acceptance?

<p>Hey guys, I'm back, this time asking for a friend w/o a CC account. He's worried that he's been given a detention because of lateness, and whether this detention will be reported to the school he got into EA and the schools he's applied to.</p>

<p>Yeah, it will. Colleges see your attendance record. Excessive tardiness could be seen as a problem, because it suggests that the student is not responsible enough.</p>

<p>Is four tardies grounds for a rescinded application?</p>

<p>No. That isn’t that bad. I thought you were referring to something like 15 tardies. Nah, that’s fine.</p>

<p>It’s just the fact that it’s detention for them that’s scaring him, and the fact that he got an email to his parents. But do detentions even show up on School Reports?</p>

<p>Most schools only send information about suspensions and probations. Admissions offices won’t hear or care about mere detention. Your friend can ask his guidance counsellor about what gets sent, what he needs to report, etc.</p>
