Hello everyone,

So a couple of years ago during my sophomore year of my undergrad I was going through a stressful time and had a very difficult professor. Long story short, I was caught for plagiarizing. It was very stupid and I have long since learned my lesson. The school I went to let me off with a warning, required I do some tutorials on Plagiarism and I was put on scholastic probation for a year. It is not marked on my transcript at all and my undergrad school is not allowed to release this information unless I sign off on it. I was wondering if I have to tell the MOT programs I am applying to about this incident. Most applications only ask about academic probation and that is something different than scholastic probation. Should I tell them? How will this affect my chances of getting into a program? And if I don't tell them, can the reject me if they ask for my student conduct record later?
