Hi everyone. Last year I had gone through the punishment of my academic dishonesty. I got this lesson and try my best to readmit by my school. I am a graduate student and this year I am going to graduate. I have found a job in a big company. They have background check. Does the back ground check company will discover my past? There was no record on my transcript and the cheating record was confidential. What will happen?
No, the academic dishonesty charge is internal. If it was not on your transcript it is confidential and will not be shared.
I think you’re okay. Academic expulsion and other types of infractions are sometimes included on the college transcripts, but most often not. Background check companies will typically call the registrar. The only information the registrar is usually allowed to give is dates of attendance and verify if a degree was granted.
You might want to get a copy of the transcript and have a look for your self.
Oh, this really does not belong in the chances forum.
But if you are caught cheating at your new job you will be in a lot of trouble.
Thank you! This is really helpful! I hope I can have chances to show my determination and integrity.
