Question about NursingCAS update

Published

Hello,

So I posted here before about receiving a written warning in my freshman year due to plagiarism (using my notes on an open note test, but my notes weren't in my own words, I was writing from the textbook-- BAD learning strategy). It was an unintentional honest mistake that I take full responsibility for, and I only received a warning. It is not on my transcripts and I finished the class with a B.

I just noticed that on NursingCAS, they removed the section and prompt that asks for academic infractions. Now at first this made me ecstatic, although I'm certain that schools might just ask about this later in the process. I would be fine reporting regardless because I know I have a good explanation, it was an honest, human being mistake, and I am going for accelerated nursing programs (or ADN programs) so it will be 3-4 calendar years at MINIMUM from the time this happened to an application. 

But would anyone know why this question was taken off the application in the first place? On the NursingCAS website I saw that it had something to do with schools going by disciplinary actions on transcripts. (If that's the case then heck, I'd feel much better because like I mentioned, it's not on my transcripts.)
