<p>Can getting an honor code violation in high school cause this at a public state school?</p>
<p>if it happened after the acceptance, maybe</p>
<p>Depends on the violation. Depends on the school.</p>
<p>If the violation is for cheating or plagiarism, the academic integrity of a student’s academic record/ transcript certainly is called into question and I think most colleges would review a student’s acceptance carefully. If the violation is for theft or destruction of property, I think a school also might question if they want the student on its campus.</p>
