Signature

I acknowledge that every school that I have attended may release all requested records and recommendations to Chaminade University of Honolulu. I also understand that employees at CUH may confidentially contact my current and former schools should they have questions about the information submitted on my behalf.

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 Chaminade University of Honolulu 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 the institutions to which I am applying immediately should there be any change to the information requested in this application, including disciplinary history.

I understand that once my application has been submitted it may not be altered in any way; I will need to contact Chaminade University of Honolulu directly if I wish to provide additional information.

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

I have read and agree to the above.
