What do you mean that I don’t have very many options



I meant that it sounds as though you would have difficulty paying for legal advice, when that clearly is what you should be doing at the earliest possible convenience. I cannot comment on what the Dean at your school can or cannot do. I was simply relaying anecdotal information, which I sought solely because you indicated an inability to get legal advice. I do not think that graduating first would make much difference here. It’s an issue that needs to be rectified, and, unfortunately, you will have to deal with the consequences in the best way you can. Your best option, again, is to get legal advice as to how to handle this, and the sooner, the better.

bluebayou, as I said, my comment was anecdotal information, and I wasn’t suggesting that any school would “look the other way”, but rather that there would be a process involved which would include the opportunity for the student to present his case. It’s impossible to know how the OP’s college would deal with this type of disclosure, and, thus, why no anecdotal information, on either end of the spectrum, should be assumed as how it would unfold in this case.
