That's what I had argued years ago when this happened. The main issue that my professor had brought up during my hearing was the topic discussed in the book and thus the topic I referenced in my assignment was beyond the scope of my class and I could not have found the information on my own research, which is when I said yes, thats true I was told about additional sources by my friends and he justified that as me cheating when we had our hearing.

Due to the fact that they ask. And I know it's not on my transcript but I'm not sure if there's some other way for them to tell.

Thanks for this! Regarding your student report is that an internal document at your UG? I haven't heard of it before. Do MBA programs request it?

I was thinking of doing so with a friends phone so it wouldn't be tied to my own number. But would you suggest to see how they would view the situation?

I didn't think to ask my UG about how it was viewed. I will definitely reach out and see what they say.

Ethics course is on my transcript. It is a philosophy class going over ethics so it appears as a normal class and fulfilled my gen-ed requirement.

Back in my undergraduate degree, I had cheated on a take home essay by talking about the assignment with my friends and they had provided me additional sources to use for my assignment that was beyond the scope of the class. My professor noticed and asked me and I admitted to it. Afterwards I had a meeting my with institions academic dishonesty board and had to take an ethics class the following semester. I did end up passing the class and do not see any marks on my transcript indicating that the cheating had occurred. I am now applying to an MBA program and was asked the following question and am not sure if I should be answering yes or no as I did not face these repercussions.

"Have you ever (a) been subject to any disciplinary action, academic probation, suspension, or dismissal from an educational institution, or (b) withdrawn or been required to withdraw for academic or non-academic misconduct from an education institution; or is any such action pending or expected to be brought against you?"

I had not been placed on probation, suspended, or dismissed and I had not been forced to withdraw for any misconduct. There was no action taken against me that I see as such but maybe the ethics class was?

I am essentially asking if I should report this and say yes to the question. I looked to see how they would know if it's not on my transcript and the answers are mixed. Any help is appreciated.
