Rescission of Admission Policy

All admission offers are made on a provisional basis, and the offer can be rescinded at any point up to the first day of instruction of the admission term. Reasons for rescission of admission offers include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Failing to submit your official academic records by set deadlines.
  • Negative changes in academic performance in courses listed as in-progress on the application for admission. For first-year students, this would likely be your senior year courses. For transfers, this would be any college courses ungraded at the time of your application.
  • Unapproved schedule changes in courses listed as in-progress on the application for admission. For transfers, this could include dropping courses required for admission.
  • Downward changes in level of rigor of your coursework listed as in-progress on your application for admission. For first-year students, this could include dropping advanced-level courses and replacing with regular-level courses.
  • For first-year students, discrepancies between your official academic and test records and the information you listed in your application for admission.
  • The cancellation of the test score used in the decision to offer you admission.
  • For international applicants, failing to submit the I-20 application by set deadlines.
  • Disciplinary action taken against you by an educational institution, including but not limited to suspension and expulsion, at any time following the submission of your application until your first scheduled day of instruction at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
  • Failing to report on your application disciplinary action taken against you by an educational institution at the time you submitted your application or, if applicable, at any time following the submission of your application until your first scheduled day of instruction at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Failure to report such disciplinary action may also lead to disciplinary action if discovered after you have begun instruction at the university.
  • Your conviction of a criminal offense.
  • Failing to report any convictions of or pending charges for a criminal offense that have already occurred at the time you accepted your admission offer, or if applicable, at any time following the acceptance of your admission offer until your first scheduled day of instruction at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Failure to report such convictions or charges may also lead to disciplinary action if discovered after you have begun instruction at the university.
  • Withholding pertinent information requested on the application or giving false information, including failure to report all high school and/or collegiate credit.
  • Providing falsified documents as part of the application materials.

If any of these are discovered on or after the first day of instruction, dismissal can occur.
