That depends upon your university's code of conduct or honor, which you should be able to find online or as part of a student handbook. Some universities may suspend, or even expel, or take some other action against, students who are convicted of certain criminal infractions, even if off-campus. You need to reference your university's rules to see how this will affect you.
