um, someone can correct me if i’m completely wrong, but I’m rather certain that colleges do get notified of the academic dishonesty violation that is on your record, and that F will show up on your transcript(s).
i’m sorry, but what I’m inferring from your post is that you’re wanting to transfer colleges because of the fact you got caught for AD, which colleges will see directly through and reject you based on that alone. furthermore, since you’ve been enrolled in a college and have taken classes at the institution, the likelihood of you being considered as a high school student is pretty abysmal. like, close to, if not, 0%. so this…
is not correct. you’re not “opting out” of anything.
