<p>I'm applying to only UCs and this suspension happened in tenth grade and will not be on my final transcript. Is there a way UCs will find out?</p>
<p>if you get accepted, then yes, you need to send transcript</p>
<p>It won't be on my final transcript, and I was suspended for a cell phone ringing in class...........</p>
<p>***? They seriously suspend students for a cell phone ringing in class?</p>
<p>Was it the first time, or had you been warned before?</p>
<p>I cannot imagine handing out a suspension just because someone forgot to click their phone over to vibe before class starts. It happens, it's annoying, but geesh... talk about "zero tolerance" being way out of control.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about one tiny incident like that affecting your admissions. It's not like an offense which shows moral turpitude (cheating, vandalism, drug use, etc.) - more like getting a parking ticket or something.</p>
<p>I agree. If you're really worried about it though, you could use the "additional information" section to explain what the suspension was for.</p>

<p>This school I went to in Georgia before I moved back to CA handed out 5-day suspensions for such an incident. It was quite ridiculous.</p>
<p>wow. 5 day suspension!?!</p>
<p>WOW 5 DAY SUSPENSION for a ringing cellphone??
And I thought I had it bad when they took my phone away for one day...</p>
<p>Have your guidance counselor explain it too as part of the cover info he/she sends.</p>
<p>And, yes, it's not just the ringing phone disruption. I understand many schools are banning having a powered-on cell phone during school hours, in order to address the ease of sharing information during exams, the proliferation of privacy-violating photos and YouTube videos taken with cell phones, etc. My sister's school confiscates phone for 3 days and suspends student for one day on first offense of being caught with a powered-on phone (vibe or not!) during school hours. Students sign an agreement on this at outset of school year, but it takes a few examples early in the year before others realize it is for real.</p>
<p>Most apps ask if you've ever been suspended or the like, so you're required to tell them - it shouldn't hurt you very much at all if you explain it clearly though</p>
<p>wow..and i thought my school was ridiculous</p>
<p>"I understand many schools are banning having a powered-on cell phone during school hours."</p>
<p>Wow. Talk about having zero clue whatsoever about where technology is going. In five years, that's going to be like banning having a pencil and paper.</p>
