SIGNATURE AND SUBMISSION

Please affirm the following before you submit your application.

I certify that all information submitted in the admission process - including this application and any other supporting materials - is my own work, factually true, and honestly presented, and that these documents will become the property of University of Puget Sound and will not be returned to me. I understand that I may be subject to a range of possible disciplinary actions, including admission revocation, expulsion, or revocation of course credit, grades, and degree should the information I have certified be false.

I agree to notify University of Puget Sound immediately should there be any change to the information requested in this application.

I understand that all offers of admission are conditional, pending receipt of final transcripts showing work comparable in quality to that upon which the offer was based, as well as honorable dismissal from the school.

I affirm that I will send an enrollment deposit (or equivalent) to only one institution; sending multiple deposits (or equivalent) may result in the withdrawal of my admission offers from all institutions. [Note: students may send an enrollment deposit (or equivalent) to a second institution where they have been admitted from the waitlist, provided that they inform the first institution that they will no longer be enrolling.]

Signature: type your full name to sign.
