Back in about October, I was under the whole "yay total freedom!" thing, and ended up getting into trouble (I harrassed a girl). I got Disciplinary Probation as a result.

Now, I know what I did was wrong, but please, no yelling at me or anything, I've heard enough. I already corrected myself by writing an essay on harassment/I wasn't required to do so, but I did it anyway, thats how bad I felt .

Anyway. I have a disciplinary record on my name for three years ,so half-way thru senior year I will be clean again. I can petition to have it voided earlier, but that's not a guarantee.

Someone told me that now I will never get an internship to complement my CS Degree, even if I had decent grades!

Is that really true? I figured it would play a role, but if you explained yourself, it wouldn't be so bad.

Now, please, don't call me a swine, etc. I do not treat women badly. I made a silly mistake, and learned my lesson. Friends say I'm a nice guy who has a little too much fun sometimes...

When I said "decent", I meant as in like 3.4+

I would shoot for better than "decent" grades from now on and make sure you don't get in trouble again. People make mistakes, and it sounds like you didn't do anything so terrible that your life or anyone else's is forever ruined. Just prove that you made a mistake, not showed your true colors that one time.

I suppose it depends on what kind of background/academic check the potential intern employer will conduct, whether this will be unearthed or not.

If they are thorough, it will come out and you'll have to explain yourself and have a STELLAR record post-incident. If they aren't thorough, well, then you'll get an internship (or not) based on your credentials excluding that ...
