Verification of Credentials
We value academic integrity, and work hard to verify all application materials. Our Admissions Committee continually evaluates the accuracy of credentials; and in cases where we discover falsified materials we deny admission to the applicant. Falsified or misleading application materials discovered after admission, enrollment or even graduation may result in the withdrawal of our admission offer, withdrawal from the University or revocation of any degree conferred, as deemed appropriate by the Admissions Committee.
