<p>My school has this policy that is 3 tardies=referral. My freshman year I was late to first period 3 times (in a whole semester, which doesn't seem extreme but I don't make the rules!) because my brother, who drove me, had car trouble but my teacher didn't care about that. </p>
<p>I am now a senior and haven't thought about it until I started applying to college...</p>
<p>See at that time in my school the deans didn't care - a teacher would write a student up and send them to the dean's office who would just say don't do it again just go back to class. However we have a portal for checking our grades that also shows are transcripts, absences, basically anything to do with school.</p>
<p>Even though I was never punished for it, that referral is still listed on my referral tab.</p>
<p>When universities ask on applications if I ever received disciplinary action, do I check yes or no? I am unsure and don't want to look like I'm lying in case it's on my record? </p>
