Conviction History
We ask about conviction history to ensure that we collect information important to assessing the composition of our
teaching and learning community. We invite you to disclose honestly and completely the relevant information about prior
misdemeanor or felony convictions, and to describe in as much detail as you’d like the ways in which this experience has
had an impact on your life.
Regardless of your conviction history, we urge you to complete your application. A prior conviction does NOT disqualify
an applicant for consideration for admission to Princeton. In fact, information about an applicant's conviction history will
not be available to the reader the rst time an application is reviewed in our process. Covering this box will ensure that
the initial reading of any applicant’s le will not discriminate on the basis of their conviction history. When the le is read
subsequently, the information will be shared, but will be considered in the context of the rst, non-prejudicial review of the
application.
Princeton believes knowing an applicant’s prior conviction history is relevant as we invite students to participate in our
campus community. We also believe that past mistakes often happen in contexts that deserve and require explanation and
amplication. We strongly urge you to tell us your story and to explain how your experience has affected your life, as you
complete and submit your application for admission to Princeton.
Have you ever been adjudicated guilty or convicted of a misdemeanor and/or felony?
Yes No
If you checked yes, please tell us about your guilty adjudication or conviction and describe in as much detail as you'd like,
the ways in which this experience has had an impact on your life.
