• Plagiarizing any part of an application, including personal essays.
• Providing false or misleading information about academic history, personal background, or financial status.
• Creating multiple accounts to misrepresent oneself.
• Having someone else complete the application or essays on your behalf.

If F1Apply determines, in its sole discretion, that a user has engaged in fraudulent activity, we will take immediate action, which may include:

• Immediate and permanent termination of the user's F1Apply account.
• Retraction of all applications submitted through the platform.
• Notification of the fraudulent activity to all universities the user applied to, as well as other application services.
