SCHEDULING THE DUI EVALUATION
You must schedule a DUI Evaluation and begin working on the classes right away. The DUI Evaluation is a normal part of the process and is required by law. A DUI Evaluation is not an admission of guilt, nor will obtaining a DUI Evaluation and beginning on the classes hurt you. Starting early will only benefit you. Obtaining a DUI Evaluation is necessary in order to end your case, and completing your treatment would benefit you for multiple reasons. First, the prosecutors would prefer to see counseling completion in order to consider a reduction in charges. Second, if you get a DUI conviction and have to go to a Secretary of State hearing the hearing officer will not reinstate your driving privileges without completion of your treatment.
The Effect of a Conviction for Illegal Drugs on Student Loans and Work-Study Programs
If a student is convicted of either possessing an illegal drug or selling an illegal drug, the conviction will prevent the student from receiving funds from a Federal student aid program. The conviction will only render the student ineligible if they are convicted when the student is receiving aid. Therefore, if the person receives a drug conviction prior to receiving student aid, it will not render the person ineligible to receive student aid. Under the law, a person is considered to be “receiving student aid” on the day that classes start and will include holiday breaks. However, summer breaks do not count as a period of time that the student is “receiving aid” unless the student is enrolled in summer classes.
