Rescission of Admission Offers

All admission offers are made on a conditional basis, and the offer can be rescinded at any point up to the first day of instruction of the admission term.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 freshmen, 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 freshmen, this could include dropping advanced-level courses and replacing with regular-level courses or dropping college preparatory classes for electives.
• The cancellation of the test score used in the decision to offer you admission.
• 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 UIS.
• Failing to report disciplinary action taken against you by an educational institution at the time you accepted your admission offer, or if applicable, at any time following the submission of your application until your first scheduled day of instruction at Illinois. Failure to report such disciplinary action may also lead to disciplinary action if discovered after you have begun instruction at the university. This policy applied to all admits.
• 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 Illinois. Failure to report such convictions or charges may also lead to disciplinary action if discovered after you have begun instruction at the university. See our Criminal History Policy and Frequently Asked Questions. This policy applies to all admits.
• 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.
