    Default Will My Expunged Record Show Up on a College Application

    My question involves criminal records for the state of: Florida

    A year ago I was stupid and shoplifted and then got caught. I was not arrested but It did go on my record. I recently just had this record expunged and I am now applying for Universities in Florida. The applications say stuff like "In the past 10 years, and including any pending charges, have you ever been the subject of any criminal proceeding other than a minor traffic violation?" and "We are not responsible if records you believed were expunged are revealed to the university.". I was wondering if I am certain my record is expunged if I can answer no to these types of questions without the University finding out

    Nobody can promise that the university will not find out about the incident. For example, the background company the university uses may be pulling its information out of a private database that still reflects the criminal charge.
