i was truant in 8th grade and now its on my disciplinary and attendance record will i be able to go to a university (4 year) with this on my record? please help my anxiety is flaring up.
As long as you have a clean record since then it should not be a problem.
∆ Agreed. Keep your High School record as positive as possible and stop stressing about 8th Grade. 8th Grade doesn’t matter to colleges (unless major crime(s) was/were committed.). Do your best and let Middle/Jr High School go
i do have a clean record other than that also how long will that record follow me around for?
8th grade won’t be relevant at all for college admissions, unless there was an extremely serious offense. Truancy in 8th grade certainly wouldn’t be an issue. Relax, work hard, GO TO CLASS, enjoy high school. (And, by the way, attending classes is one of the main keys to success in college.) Good luck!
Typically only HS records are sent to colleges (grades 9-12). You can talk to your guidance counselor and confirm this is the case at your HS and you can also ask for a copy of the transcript that will be sent to colleges. I would not expect it to be a problem.
