<p>fall 2007 freshman here. if i got a dui, can i still go to college or will they revoke my admission?</p>
<p>That's an interesting question. I wouldn't be surprised if you were asked to take a leave for a semester or even a year, revoking is a rare thing but could happen. Felonies in general are not so great to have.</p>
<p>Why would you ever put yourself in that situation?</p>
<p>I hope so and I also which they would have put you in prison.</p>
<p>Very possibly. A DUI shows a deep lack of judgment and care for others on the road, neither of which is attractive to a university.</p>
<p>As said by others, I can't believe you were stupid enough to put yourself in that situation, and I sort of hope they do revoke your admission; you won't ever drive intoxicated again.</p>
<p>i didnt get one myself so cut down the vitriol (even though it is justified, i am just looking for answers right now). anyone had this experience or know of the facts?</p>
<p>Ah, OK. The way you phrased it made it seem like you had, in which case the vitriol would be totally justified.</p>
<p>Probably. You would have to talk to the Dean of Student Affairs among other people, we can't really give you a complete answer because it will ultimately depend on the college's assessment of your character. Punishments will vary depending on the situation. But yes, it is possible.</p>
<p>Would the school require disclosure of the incident? Surely by now an attorney has been retained, anyway...consult him.</p>
<p>are you planning on getting a dui or something?</p>
<p>hopefully they would</p>
<p>this happened to one of my really good friends last year. i actually started a thread about it: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=202535%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=202535</a></p>
<p>anyways, the college never found out and her admissions wasn't revoked and her scholarship is still intact. and, she actually ended up pleading it down to a reckless driving charge. maybe the same will happen in your case. nevertheless, i don't think it'll be an issue.</p>
<p>what about future ramifications like grad school (law, etc)?</p>
<p>Anything that's a felony you have to report and they ask to see it.</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure a dui is a misdemeanor, so no reporting necessary.</p>
<p>^^ Misdemeanors can be very punishable though, up to a year in jail. Listing that offense will seriously hurt your chances when applying to grad or professional schools and jobs. FYI: A DUI can be upgraded to a felony if serious harm is done as a result of the negligence.</p>
<p>i don't see the connection between an education and a DUI. it would be unjust for them to revoke your admission for a DUI.</p>
<p>maybe there would be a connection between a DUI and admission to...</p>
<p>a commercial airlines school.</p>
<p>but no. not with school in general.</p>
<p>If you've already been accepted, I don't understand how the school is going to learn of this, unless there's a form that asks you the question. If it's a first offense, and nobody was seriously hurt, there's not likely to be jail time.</p>
<p>proton: Does murder have to do with education? Nope. I guess I shouldn't get admission revoked for it.</p>
<p>I can't believe you actually just made the argument that a DUI wouldn't be reason to revoke admissions. Of course it is. A DUI conviction shows a severe lack of judgment on the part of the person who decided to drink and drive, suggesting they have serious issues with making sound judgments. That is a good reason to revoke admission.</p>
<p>I seriously hope they do revoke admission.. people that engage in this type of behavior need to get punished extremely severely imo. That way, out of fear, less people will do it in the long run.</p>
<p>DUI is usually a felony and is often punished by incarceration.. definately grounds for revoking college admission. Good luck getting a job too.</p>
<p>Depends where u are at></p>
<p>For example: In Florida, DUI, especially if Under 21, is a felony. </p>
<p>Will the school know of it?
thats the good news. as long as ur case dosnt recieve much attention or u recieve a punishment which would obviously not allow u to attend, then ur fine. Ur not required to submit a criminal record along with ur final transcripts.</p>
