Education and DUI

A DUI charge on a person’s record can have a serious impact on their educational prospects. These convictions can result in problems with a wide variety of educational requirements. In particular, the admissions process can become more complicated due to a criminal record. This is due to the way many schools see a DUI conviction on a prospect’s record.

The best way to protect yourself from this problem is to entrust any DUI charges to an experienced attorney. At Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., our Arizona DUI defense lawyers may be able to have your charged reduced, or in some cases, completely dismissed. To discuss your case, contact our offices today at 602-510-9999.

Problems with DUIs and Higher Education

One important part of the admissions process is proving that a person is qualified on a personal level. Schools do not want to admit students without first examining their moral standing, which may be directly linked to their criminal record. As a result, a candidate with a DUI conviction may have to work much harder to get into school. These individuals may be required to participate in a tougher interview process for some schools and departments due to their legal record.

DUI convictions can also affect other educational areas, including:

  • Scholarships
  • Federal financial aid
  • Entry into fraternity and sorority organizations
  • Entry into a professional organization
  • Obtaining professional licenses

A student may not be able to pursue their desired degree or attend their favorite school because of these criminal charges on their record. This is especially true if the charge was a relatively recent occurrence that happened within the past year.
