Have you ever been disciplined for student conduct violations (e.g. academic probation, dismissal, suspension, disqualification, etc.) by any college or school?
So, I have a question about how to answer this question on AACOMAS. When I was taking a lab for a class I made the stupid mistake of making up data that was representative or close to what I would have gotten had the lab experiment been done properly. At the time, I didn’t think what I was doing was wrong since we received full credit if our lab notebook was filled out for the lab, I was attempting the experiment and a good portion ( half) of the class was doing the same thing as well. Anyways long story short, it’s been a while since taking the class and I had since graduated. I came to realize what I did was wrong and so I reached out to the professor, even though it could result in losing my degree. He told me he appreciated me reaching out to him and had me write an essay about honesty to make up for what I did. The dean was not involved, nor the honor code office and it was not reported to the administration. Please correct me if I am wrong, but my professor technically works for the school so my guess is that him requiring me to write the essay counts as discipline by the school. Based off of that logic I figure that I will simply report it.

- Is this considered an institutional action since it was just between the professor and I? If so should it be reported?
- Am I overthinking this?
