Please help! Academic Dishonesty on Common App

The question is, “Have you ever been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at any educational institution you have attended from the 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct, that resulted in a disciplinary action? These actions could include but are not limited to probation, suspension, removal, dismissal or expulsion from the institution.” Sophomore year I was caught cheating but I wasnt suspended, put on probation, removed, dismissed, or expelled, I receieved a detention though. Would I check yes for the box?

Yes. “Included but not limited to” basically means the items they listed are merely examples and are not a complete list of the things they want to hear about.

@alejandro1 I suggest you ask your school counselor. They may not feel the offense was serious enough to check that box…and they would know. Good luck.
