Many students have faced disciplinary actions somewhere along their early educational journey. Any university you apply to can request them, and if they are seriously considering admitting you, count on them finding out about them. Be honest about it and offer context. Take responsibility for your actions and share what you learned from the experience and how you have grown since. As they say on Oxford's website, "Attitude is very important when it comes to learning."
