SlightyWorried

thanks for your advice

Thanks for your advice. I suppose I'm worried because it will show up in livescan report...and I'm not sure if my grad program will find out and ask why I wasn't upfront about my background. But if my practicum uses a run of the mill background checker such as hireright/chkr then I'm OK.

Hello, On the CSDCAS application it asks "Have you ever been convicted of a Misdemeanor?" Do I have to disclose if it has been expunged from my record? Are my dreams of becoming an SLP completely over? About 8 years ago I pled guilty to misdemeanor (first & last). My lawyer advised me that I would not have to disclose it on graduate school applications or employment applications because it is considered "dismissed". I have had 2 background checks since the expungement and it doesn't not show on a criminal background check. Although, none of these places required a livescan/DOJ report.
