Similarly applications to medical school, dental school, physician assistant programs, physical therapy programs, and most BSRN and MRN programs all ask if the applicant has ever been subject to any institutional actions.

Applicants are required to answer “yes” even if the action does not appear on their record or transcript.

For example, AMCAS (medical school admission service) states:



You must answer Yes to this question if you were ever the recipient of any institutional action resulting from unacceptable academic performance or a conduct violation, even if such action did not interrupt your enrollment or require you to withdraw. You must answer Yes even if the action does not appear on or has been deleted from your official transcripts due to institutional policy or personal petition.

Every application gives the applicant a limited amount of space to explain the circumstances.
