Specs Howard-will accept felons?

Question

I just filled out an online questionaire for Specs Howard school of broadcast arts. It asked if I have ever been convicted of a felony. I said yes, prescription fraud. Does this mean I can't be a student there? Does this mean I will never be able to work in radio again? I live in Michigan.

Answer 1

It doesn't mean you're automatically disqualified, its up to the discretion of the employer.

You legally have to disclose any convicted felonies from the last 7 years if that question is on the application.
