Can colleges revoke acceptance after deposit?

Hi, guys! I was just wondering, can a college revoke your acceptance after you've made the enrollment deposit? Under what circumstances would this happen? Any advice would be appreciated!

a year ago

Yes, colleges can revoke your acceptance after you've made the enrollment deposit, although this is relatively rare. Here are some circumstances under which a college might rescind your acceptance:

1. Grade Drops: If your grades significantly drop during your final semester of high school compared to the rest of your high school career (think As to Ds, not As to Bs), colleges may rescind your acceptance. It's important to maintain consistent performance and keep up the hard work even after getting accepted.

2. Misconduct: If you were involved in serious disciplinary issues during your senior year or committed any illegal activities, the college may rescind your acceptance. These actions could include cheating, drug use, or criminal activity.

3. Dishonesty: If the college finds out that you misrepresented information on your application—such as exaggerating your extracurricular activities or lying about awards—or if your recommendation letters are found to be fraudulent, your acceptance may be revoked.

4. Failure to Graduate: If you do not complete the coursework required for graduation, the college may rescind your acceptance since your eligibility for enrollment is based on your successful completion of high school.
