Pre-Attendance Misconduct and Admission Revocation

Policy Purpose

Generally, when the University becomes aware of an allegation of pre-attendance behavioral concerns or misconduct, the Director of Admissions will make an initial assessment and may revoke admission without further inquiry and at any time, prior to matriculation¹ so long as the individual is not covered under the Code of Conduct’s jurisdictional scope.

In all other cases, if following the initial assessment there is reason to gather additional information, the Director of Admissions may notify the admitted student of the alleged misconduct, request a prompt written or verbal response, and gather additional information as needed.

Following this inquiry, the Director of Admissions may either dismiss the matter or resolve it without revocation. Depending on the individual’s progression, admission may be revoked even after they have commenced attendance at the University, in which case they will be administratively withdrawn and unable to reenroll. The University may at its discretion void any course credit and grades reflected on the official transcript and note the transcript to reflect the revocation. All efforts will be made to review and resolve the matter as expeditiously as possible. All decisions are final and non-reviewable.

As used throughout this document and its accompanying procedures, “Director of Admissions” includes their designee.
