Hi all, had a question about something that happened my freshman year. Ready to submit AACOMAS and remembered about it. Was caught at a friend's dorm with alcohol in the room, everyone was reported and we were compliant. I had to complete an online alcohol class and I believe had some kind of probation but don't remember how long it was (1 year?). No other incidents since, it's been smooth sailing.
I spoke to my dean of student's office (this originally happened 5 years ago) and requested my disciplinary record. All it shows is this:
"Has exceeded the record keeping time period, and per this policy has no disciplinary record on file"
This box is checked due to the fact that they have a time limit for records like that (3-4 years I believe). However, they have another box which is NOT checked, which reads:
"Is in good standing and has no disciplinary record"
Other options include having a current record which also is not checked. However, wouldn't the first statement imply that something happened in the past? I'm wondering if it's safer just to list it in AACOMAS but could use some guidance. Would this hurt my app to a noticeable degree? The dean of students office is taking too long to get back to me. What do you think I should do in this situation? Thanks for reading.
