Hey, I have a question, so I am a freshman right now, but I recently got an Honor Code Violation. I got set up by a person who said we both cheated when he stole the paper from me and copied it and it turned out both of our papers were looking the same, and the teacher says that it’s clear that the other person stole copied me, but the principal said that the other person(who literally copied me) said the truth, so the principal gave me an honor violation too.
I don’t know if it is on my transcript, and I don’t know how to check if it is, can someone please tell me how I can see my transcript?
Also, will I need to report it to the college if I don’t have it on my transcript?
If I do have to report it, should I “Own up to my mistake” even though I got set up, or should I write how I feel about it? What do you guys think?
And lastly, does it affect my college application a lot? Like, do colleges take a look at it very seriously? Even if I got it in just 9th grade?
Will colleges like NC State or (maybe) MIT look at it that much?

Thank you guys for your help
