I have already received my acceptance from my college of choice, however I got caught shoplifting(I know stupid of me), but have to attend court. If I receive a misdemeanor or a felony do I have to notify them if I am already accepted. I am a minor.
Speak with your guid counselor. At first glance, I would say wait until it’s adjudicated. Or consult a lawyer.
You probably do have to inform the school if you are convicted. However, I do not think you need to do anything until there is a conviction.
Please note shoplifting is not just stupid. It is criminal. If you have a good lawyer you may be able to get this sealed as a juvenile offense (if you are under 18).
