Best to check with the Department of Education to be sure. I am sure the level of conviction will play some role. If your case is still pending, hire an attorney and fight the charges. I have handled many marijuana cases where there was no criminal conviction and the charges were ultimately dismissed. Fight the case with an experienced attorney.
