I'm working to prepare my master's degree admission.

So the admission team provided me with a declaration form and the first question is this:

Academic Disciplinary Action

Have you ever been placed on academic or non-academic suspension or dismissal from any educational institution?

I've got dismissed from the first college I've been to for absence problem and nothing else.

Does the absence goes under either academic or non-academic term ?

So should I choose Yes or No ?

It asks if you've ever been dismissed from an educational institution, and you have. You should answer "yes". Dismissal due to absence would presumably count as "non-academic" dismissal, as you were not dismissed due to cheating or plagiarism, for example. If there is no place to explain it on the form, you could consider adding a line to your CV or personal statement to explain your reason for dismissal.

  • OK, I have another point to ask about related to the same declaration form. Should I ask here ?

  • To me, "academic dismissal" would mainly refer to being dismissed for low grades, or otherwise not meeting academic standards. Being absent would fall into that category, I would say.
