When the provision of false or misleading information in support of an application comes to light after enrolment:-

1. The relevant Admissions Office administrator shall write to the student outlining the discrepancy and requesting the student to submit a written reply addressing why false or misleading information has been provided.
2. The reply shall be referred to the relevant Admissions Tutor and the Admissions Officer who shall decide whether or not the candidate has a case to answer.
3. If it is decided that there is a case to answer, the student shall be invited to respond before a decision is taken as to possible sanction.
4. If, after considering the student’s response to the allegation, it is decided that there has been a deliberate attempt to provide false or misleading information, one or more of the following penalties shall be invoked:
   • a formal note of censure be appended to the student’s record;
   • the student’s candidature be downgraded (e.g. from Ph.D. to M.Phil.; from Bachelor’s degree to undergraduate diploma);
   • the candidate’s offer of a place be withdrawn and, as a consequence, that the candidate be required to withdraw from the University
5. Students who wish to appeal to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor Student Experience against any of the above sanctions can do so under the Admissions Appeals process.
