USC students involved in the college admissions scandal could find themselves being booted out.

The school says it's now placed "holds" on the accounts of all students it thinks might have been admitted through the bribery scheme.


Those students can't register for classes during the investigation and USC says those who did get in illegitimately will face discipline that could range up to expulsion.

The school also announced a tuition increase of  3.5 percent to more than $57,000 a year.

USC has been in the news for the past week after a nationwide college bribery case was unveiled by federal prosecutors. Two students are suing USC and other schools with a federal class-action lawsuit and allege the students were denied a fair opportunity for admission.

Last week, Lori Loughlin's daughters decided not to return to USC due to fears of bullying.
