Unfairly considered to be "cheating" according to my school rules. For a psych proj we were asked to run an experiement and do the write up on our own, without the help of others in the group. A person asked for help in the group and i gave it. I had already done my write up a week before it was due.and read off some stuff from my own paper. Turnitin.com found that her paper and mine was 50% alike.... I am considered cheating bc I tried to help a friend out, i did not copy off her paper nor did she even see my paper. I receive a 0 on the proj and a referral w/ 2 detentions. I have never gotten in trouble for any disciplinary reason, I am a hard worker and work hard in and out of school. I am currently applying for college, and was wondering if the referral would show up on my transcript even after I turn in the college app. If it does, how can i present to the colleges my side of the story...

You broke the rules, and you consider it unfair? )
I understand the consequences and yes i did violate the rules, but knowing me at times i can be TOO NICE and not realize it. I learned my lesson. it thought it was unfiar bc one of my teachers accussed me of being a dishonest person... which many other teachers and others know I am not.

Such discipline records are not generally sent. If you need a school recommendation from a teacher, that could be diffficult...it you are a chronic problem. Grades are usually the only factor...and money of course.

colleges inspect your grades and your information from ninth grade and up. The suspensions do count number because it really is formally on your record. you may want to not worry to a lot because this stuff occurred 3 years in the past. collectively inspite of the actuality that, colleges do inspect your record for the era of your intense college occupation. i don't think that detentions will be held adversarial to you. :)

all you can do is appeal to you school and hope that the college you apply to does not hear of this.
