<p>Okay, I'm a sophomore at a nationally recognized performing arts school. I was caught for immoral conduct with my boyfriend on campus today (I know, stupid. Save me the lectures, please. My dean already gave me plenty). I won't know exactly what is happening until Wednesday, which is when my parent conference is scheduled, but basically I am looking at expulsion. I am a top student with perfect attendance, outstanding citizenship, and no prior offences. I know that for suspensions most colleges will overlook it if you are up-front and honest about it and explain what happened and what you learned from it (of course as long as you didn't hurt someone-which I did not), but I haven't really found any information regarding expulsions. I plan on applying to a couple of CSU's (San Diego State being my #1) and I just really need to know where I stand on my chance of admission. I made a stupid mistake and I understand that. Someone please help?</p>
<p>lol. they can expel you for that? but to answer your question I’m pretty sure it won’t hurt you much at all in college admissions.</p>
<p>Haha yeah, I guess so. Okay, thanks. Also, the SDSU app doesn’t have a spot that asks you if you have been suspended/expelled/etc. on it, but I read that you should still be honest and come clean about it because it’s better if you can tell them what happened than for them to call your school and find out just what is in the computer, is this true?</p>
<p>What kind of “immoral conduct” can actually get you EXPELLED? What is this, Puritan New England? Obviously you’ll want to argue very hard for yourself at the parent-teacher conference. Hopefully, they’ll go easy on you with your perfect record.</p>
<p>Many schools will"ask you to leave" so it doesn’t show as expulsion. They don’t want to wrck your life, just to make an example.</p>
<p>Can your parents just take you out of the school before an “expulsion” decision is made?</p>

<p>We don’t know what this couple did, but there have been cases of inappropriate groping or more extensive sexual activity on campus that have gotten students in trouble.</p>
<p>I’ve learned to never admit to anything unless you are asked directly and specifically.
You should review your school’s handbook and code of conduct agreement. but i doubt that they’ll expel you since you don’t have any priors. Maybe a suspension, unless they wasn’t to make an example out of you.
But, even if you are expelled, you can always go to a JC and transfer. I would be more worried about when your at a job interview, and you have to explain to them why you were expelled.</p>
<p>Best of luck to you, you naughty girl…or boy.</p>

<p>You can get expelled for having sex? Do you really think they’d get rid of their top student for that?</p>
<p>depends if your school is a reporting school. My school doesnt report suspension and expulsion for 9th and 10th grade but they do for juniors and seniors. at the school i went to before they didn’t report at all…but if you missed a test you got a 0 and couldnt make it up. thank god because i was suspended in 9th grade. so it depends on the school. also at my old school i girl was caught doing the same thing and she was asked to leave. schools dont really expel students unless it was something serious. To be honest what teenager doesnt do stuff with their BF.</p>

<p>In the dining hall in the middle of the lunch rush? You bet.
Holding up the line for the salad bar is serious business ;)</p>
<p>As of now, I am being placed on a 10-day suspension. I am still looking at expulsion, but I have an appeal with the assistant principal on Friday. Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, I will have to attend behavior school for 4-6 weeks. Switching schools is honestly my last resort, because my home school is awful. Does anyone have any more advice on how it will affect my college plans, or what my chances are now?</p>
<p>Your own dean or guidance counselor would be the one to ask about this. Chances are that they have seen and heard everything before, and they can advise you on the best way to deal with the longer-term results of the suspension.</p>

<p>this story just gets better and better</p>
<p>I know this is an old post, but I just wanted to update everything that has happened.
My boyfriend and I got caught having sex in a stairwell at school.
I have a perfect record (ive never even gotten a detention or tardy or dress code violation) and I get good grades.
We were suspened. Him for 15 days, me for 21 (simply because of the schedule of the man we had to meet with).
We each separately met with a man from the board of education, he asked us questions about the incident, how we felt, how we were being punished, etc.
The final verdict (for both of us) was that we were to simply be withdrawn from our magnet school and enroll at our local zoned schools. (No behavioral school!!!)
I am on conditional enrollment for a year, though. Basically, i just cant do anything that would get me suspended or else i will be expelled.
I have been there for a week now, and I guess I’m starting to adjust.
I have not yet had a chance to talk to my GC about how admissions reps will handle my situation, so if anyone has any advice now that the whole thing has been settled. Thanks, everyone :)</p>
<p>Well ain’t that something.</p>
<p>if you switch schools, the admin people wont know why. it could be for any number of reasons. bullying, money, moving, whatever…</p>
<p>many people change schools for many reasons, you don’t need to explain, as you withdrew and now attend a new school</p>
<p>and sex in a stairwell? guess your timing kind of stunk</p>
<p>Sounds like something on Greys Anatomy or any other television show.</p>
<p>It is inappropriate behavior and the school is harsh because they can get in trouble too. A parent can complain about the lack of supervision, monitoring or the environment they allow where kids do what you did or the event could tarnish the school - don’t go to that school, you know what goes on there.</p>
<p>But we as a people need to get our messages straight when we can see the kind of thing you did and got punished for happening on almost any show aimed at young adults every night. They were having lots of teen sex on the most recent Suburgatory episode. That show has really gone to the dogs in less than a single season.</p>
<p>Wait you can seriously get expelled or in trouble for having sex? Even if you both are above 18? How is that even possible</p>
<p>^^
In a high school? In a stairwell? What kind of school do you go to where this wouldn’t be a problem?</p>
<p>yeah sorry haha didn’t read that part. But I mean if you’re doing that in your dorm room they can’t get u in trouble right?</p>
