The discipline question is an open-ended question that appears on many American college applications. In addition to transcripts, recommendations, and competitive admissions process. On the other hand, to omit such details would be dangerous, were the incident to surface in teacher's recommendations or guidance reports.

The discipline question is often debated in college admissions guides. Anecdotal evidence indicates that omission is, in general, more successful than disclosure, especially for mid-level infractions. Severe infractions, usually involving violence or criminal activity are highly likely to be disclosed by guidance counselors and school officials, for ethical reasons, whereas more minor indicents are often hidden.
