   I am eligible to have my record sealed. My hesitation is that I have a dismissed driving infraction from 2004 that shows up on a background check. The attorney I consulted pointed out that a level 2 background check would show that something is seale...

   Yup, we're talking FL. From what I understand withholding judgement (adjudication withheld) is a decision by the judge done to prevent a conviction on one's record with the expectation that it is unlikely further trouble will occur. Well, I didn't en...

   @hppygr8ful Thanks for the response! An attorney did say that I am eligible to have it sealed, but I'm not sure I want to seem like I'm hiding something.

   I spoke with an attorney on Tuesday. I am eligible to have my record sealed since it is not a conviction and it would be nice to have the arrest hidden. However, I was advised that a level 2 background check would still show that something was there....

   Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I think you handled it in such a smart way and I am so glad that it worked out. I am looking to be proactive but not overdoing any explanations and your strategy seems to do just that. I have recent...

    I am so nervous/excited about Wednesday. Fellow Semester 1 students, is this everything we need for the first day? Books Uniform including nametag Planner Syllabi (where do I find these to print?) I feel like I am forgetting something(s)...

    I was also part of the online tour group. Here's my take on it: 1. The group was too large. I could barely hear the tour guides. 2. I am unconcerned with their, or anyone's, opinion on how "hard" a class is, online or otherwise. Everyone is differ...

    For anyone who has turned in their packet: What are you giving PBCC from the drug test and background check? I know that NMS is sending the results to the school, but do you need to include anything from NMS in your packet?
