Should I put this in my application or not?

[Hayden94]

<p>Hello I am a senior in high school and will be applying for colleges next month. During my sophomore year of high school I got caught forging an essay for English and received an honor code violation. I got kicked out of the class and on my transcript it says WF under English 2A. I made the class up in the summer and received a B which is also on my transcript for English 2A. I will be applying to CSU's soon and I am wondering if I should mention it in my application. </p>

<p>Will I have a better chance of getting in if I mention what happened on my application or do CSU's look over that and only care if I made it up?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Why would you forge something? Colleges don’t want people with poor integrity…</p>

<p>Anyways you have to put it on your college application because it would be dishonest not to do so.</p>

<p>Look at your CSU application, there is usually a place on an application that asks about disciplinary actions. For instance, from the CA:</p>

<p>

Disciplinary History<br>
aHave 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.
Yes
No

Have you ever been adjudicated guilty or convicted of a misdemeanor, felony, or other crime?
Yes
No
[Note that you are not required to answer “yes” to this question, or provide an explanation, if the criminal adjudication or conviction has been expunged, sealed,
annulled, pardoned, destroyed, erased, impounded, or otherwise ordered by a court to be kept confidential.]
If you answered “yes” to either or both questions, please attach a separate sheet of paper that gives the approximate date of each incident, explains the circumstances, and
reflects on what you learned from the experience.
