Interview for what?

There is a record in the deans office and if asked for a deans office recommendation, there will be a mention of the incident.

Why would you need a rec from the deans office?

 

[MCParent]

Is the academic misconduct on your transcript?

Yeah, unless you know the dean in question quite well and they can speak to your skills and aptitude as a student, researcher, and/or potential clinician, I can't see why one would waste a recommendation on them.

The university was not involved, and I did not go to any kind of a hearing.

I wouldn't ever want to lie and say that I was not disciplined by my college for any conduct violations

But you weren't disciplined by your college. You failed an assignment; that's not so much a punishment as the logical consequence of not doing the work.

It sounds like you had a "teachable moment" that didn't go any farther than your zero grade (that mysterious list in the dean's office notwithstanding -- that's going to get them into trouble someday). If you'd had some disciplinary hearing on record, or had broken a law, that would be different. I would not go out of my way to report borderline issues that were handled informally.

In the unlikely event this ever comes up, though, don't call it an "oversight" because that kind of rationalization can be more damaging than the act itself.

It is more if the institution contacts the Deans office for my records, there is a record of academic misconduct handled at the teacher-student level.

Is the academic misconduct on your transcript?

No absolutely no record on my transcript but in my file

It was a teachable moment! Thank you

It was handled informally but there was a formal academic misconduct report submitted to the college

It really depends on what is being asked of you. It's like the difference between being arrested and being convicted of a crime. One is usually more concerned with the latter.

FERPA though.

I totally have time to call the Dean's offices at all the places my applicants went to college. 😉
If it's not on your transcript, unless your letter writes mention it no one will ever know so it's moot.

Happy to report I acknowledged the mistakes in my application and was offered an interview 🙂
