Actually if you are a Teaching Assistant in front of a bunch of undergraduates, there is a requirement for a background check. This is done before you start teaching, so it would be in August 2016 or so. However, it is likely that even if you disclose it I am pretty sure that most physics programs (I do admissions for the Illinois Tech physics program) would not care too much about it.
