Disciplinary Probation

<p>How big of an issue is it going to be? If it doesn't show up on my transcript, should I disclose the information on the application?</p>

<p>Definitely should disclose, probably won’t affect you.</p>

<p>To continue this question and apply it to my situation:</p>

<p>I received disciplinary probation after I had gotten into a petty argument with someone and after she had asked me to stop talking to her, I sent her an email a couple of months later trying to set things right. </p>

<p>They found me responsible for “harassment.” They agreed that I had not intended to break the rule and did not harm anyone, but based upon the way the student code was written, contacting someone after they say they don’t want to talk to you is grounds for responsibility.</p>

<p>I talked with someone in the dean of students office about it and they even offered to write a letter on my behalf attesting to the minor nature of the incident and advocating on my behalf because they got to know me and really liked me (strangely).</p>

<p>So how would this incident be perceived? I’m in the mode where I am freaking out about every possible thing that can go wrong.</p>

<p>You’re dead meat.</p>

<p>If your application asks a question that covers this, answer truthfully. Otherwise, there’s no reason to bring it up.</p>

<p>I only remember being asked about suspensions.</p>

<p>The application ask about suspensions and probations. Student should answer truthfully and prepare a short addendum if nevessary</p>

<p>Most of the applications I have come across ask specifically if you have been on disciplinary probation, so you can’t really lie about it.</p>

<p>And nonantichrist, if you’re going to say something like that, don’t bother responding.</p>

<p>Place me on disciplinary probation, LSU.</p>

<p>Does housing probation count as a part of “probation”? Or are they only asking for academic probations?</p>

<p>All probations. The application will ask if they are academic or disciplinary in nature.</p>
