Probation itself is not a conviction, however if you are on probation it's because you have been convicted of a crime, and have been given probation in lieu of a jail sentence.

If you successfully complete the term of your probation, and all its requirements, the finding of guilty will be removed from the records. If you do NOT successfully complete the entire terms of your probation, the guilty sentence will immediately be activated and you will be found Guilty and serve the remainder of your sentence.
