Case disposed by court and getting in

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello, I am looking at a program that states under Eligibility Criteria “No convictions.” </p>

<p>I recently had 2 DUI cases disposed by the court (expunged) yet am still concerned about getting in. </p>

<p>I haven’t seen the official paperwork yet (just what’s on a website) and don’t know if the paperwork will say something like "If you’ve had your case(s) expunged put “No” for misdemeanor arrests. </p>

<p>I’m wondering if having my cases expunged is the same as “No convictions”? Could I put “No” if asked if I was arrested for a misdemeanor or would I have to put “Yes, disposed by court”?</p>

<p>Well… according to Wikipedia: “When an expungement is granted, the person whose record is expunged may, for most purposes, treat the event as if it never occurred.”</p>

<p>It’s basically a blank slate thing given to minors for a second chance. You should ask someone knowledgeable in law, but my opinion is that it’s alright to put “No”</p>
