In addition, the University may end this Agreement by written notice to the student in the following circumstances:

• If the University becomes aware of information about a student which was not previously known (for example: criminal convictions) which, in the reasonable opinion of the University, makes it inappropriate for the student to begin the program;
• If, in the reasonable opinion of the University, the student has failed to provide the university with all of the relevant information, or has supplied false or misleading information, relating to his application for the program.
