Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

In order for me to get into my program at my university I have to have a background check done. Five years ago had a 74-11 for use of marijuana, complied and completed everything and that was that. I also had another charge of possession that was dismissed. Will this show up in a background check?

Spend $10 at the Michigan State Police web site's I-CHAT service for a copy of your publically visible criminal history. It is likely the same listing your prospective employers will see. If the drug conviction is still on your public record, go back to the court (with a copy of the I-CHAT info) you were in ASAP to find out why it's still showing as a conviction. The clerk of the court might have to re-send the MCL 333.7411 dismissal info to MSP.
