I recently passed the FE exam for civil engineering and am now in the process of applying for my EIT and I'm a little concerned with the background check part. I have a minor in consumption on my record from 2010 when I was 18 years old, however the only place the record is located is at the college police station in Arizona. I wasn't arrested and was just given a citation at the time to show up to court and pay a fine. Has anyone run into the problem of being denied due to a misdemeanor on their record? Should I be worried about this at all?
