If a candidate for admission to Dartmouth makes a false statement or submits falsified material in connection with his or her application, and the misrepresentation is discovered after the candidate has been admitted, the offer of admission ordinarily will be withdrawn. If the misrepresentation is discovered after a student has matriculated, the offer of admission normally will be rescinded and the student will be required to leave Dartmouth. If the discovery occurs after a degree has been awarded, the degree normally will be rescinded.
If an alleged misrepresentation is discovered prior to matriculation, the determination whether the application contains false information rests solely with the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid, and will be resolved outside the student disciplinary process. If the alleged misrepresentation is discovered after matriculation, the matter will be referred to the Committee on Standards for adjudication under the Dartmouth College Community Standards of Conduct.
