Expungement

Contact Student Legal Services for assistance with sealing your criminal record.  Expungement is a legal process in which you can clean up your criminal record. If you are successful, it's like the conviction never happened.

Generally, to be eligible for expungement, you: 

  1. Must be a eligible offender (no more than two convictions) 
  2. A certain amount of time must pass between conviction and requesting the expungement of that conviction (for misdemeanors, that time period is one year)
  3. Have no pending criminal charges at the time of the request
  4. Have been "rehabilitated".  
  5. There are some crimes, like driving under the influence, that you can never expunge.
