Application Policy
Accuracy is expected in all documents provided by applicants to the full-time graduate programs. Applicants for full-time graduate admission must not make inaccurate statements or material omissions on their applications, nor submit any false materials related to or in connection with seeking admission. Violation of this requirement may result in the application being rejected. If a violation is discovered after an applicant has been admitted but prior to matriculation, admission may be rescinded. If a violation is discovered after a full-time graduate student has registered, the case will be reviewed by the Dean of Research and Graduate Education for the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences or the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for the Whiting School of Engineering, who will determine what action is to be taken, up to and including dismissal from the University. If the discovery occurs after a degree has been awarded, the University may revoke the degree and/or take other appropriate action.
