School officials said Monday night they may expel students caught up in the largest college admissions cheating scandal in U.S. history after it completes a reviews of their records. 'USC has placed holds on the accounts of students who may be associated with the alleged admissions scheme; this prevents the students from registering for classes or acquiring transcripts while their cases are under review,' the school tweeted. USC officials said Monday night they may expel students caught up in the largest college-admissions cheating scandal in U.S. history after it completes a reviews of their records 'These students have been notified that their status is under review. Following the review, we will take the proper action related to their status, up to revoking admission or expulsion.' USC was the most implicated school involved in the cheating scandal after prosecutors said wealthy parents either paid bribes to have a college counselor rig standardized tests or get their children admitted as recruits of sports they didn't play. More than half the 32 parents charged were trying to bribe their children's way into USC. School officials have already said six students who applied to USC last fall would be rejected because of their ties to to the scheme. The university is still investigating exactly how many current students are implicated. Among the current students are the daughters of 'Full House' actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli. Lori Loughlin's daughters Olivia (left) and Isabella (right) are among those caught up in the scheme after their parents were charged with paying $500,000 to have them labeled as rowing recruits The couple are accused of paying $500,000 to have their daughters - Olivia Jade, 19, and Isabella, 20 - labeled as crew team recruits at USC, even though neither is a rower. Sources told TMZ last Thursday that both Olivia and Isabella had dropped out of USC because they feared they would be 'viciously bullied' if they returned to the Los Angeles school in the wake of the scandal. When announcing the charges, prosecutors said some students involved in the scandal were not aware that their parents had made the alleged dishonest arrangements, although in other cases they knowingly took part. One of the parents charged in the scandal is Homayoun Zadeh - a USC dentistry professor now facing termination. The school fired senior associate athletic director Donna Heinel and water polo coach Jovan Vavic, who won 16 national titles. Both were accused of taking bribes. Two former USC coaches were also named in the scheme. Interim USC President Wanda Austin said USC plans to redirect donations that were part of the scheme toward scholarships for needy students.
