SDN,
I'm a freshman student and I recently received what I would consider an IA for a parking violation (received an in-house citation for parking in an administrative/staff space at around 8:00pm for approximately 15 minutes, can explain if necessary). Parking violations are, by university rules, considered a breach of student code of conduct.
I had to admit responsibility (the law doesn't sleep) and now I have a code of conduct record. The intervening officer did reassure me that it was a minor infraction and it would not appear on my academic transcript.
Now, if I understand correctly, this has to be reported and I understand that this will affect me negatively. I'm looking on what consequences does this,how will it affect my application (current GPA is within competitive range), and how to explain this to the adcoms a few years from now.
Thank you for your attention.
(URM but I don't think this matters in this case).
