Lori Loughlin’s daughters are not allowed to withdraw from the University of Southern California
Although they allegedly got into university via money their parents’ paid for them, the daughters of actress Lori Loughlin won’t be dropping out anytime soon.
The University of Southern California won’t allow Lori Loughlin‘s two daughters to drop out of school despite allegations their rich parents bribed the girls’ way into getting there.
According to the New York Post, Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli remain enrolled at the University of Southern California, which put holds on the accounts of all students who may have fraudulently received admission, Us Weekly reported.
“This prevents the students from registering for classes (until they have agreed to participate in the review of their case), withdrawing from the university, or acquiring transcripts while their cases are under review,” the college said in a Monday statement.
In their exclusive story, Us Weekly reported:
“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 (until they have agreed to participate in the review of their case), withdrawing from the university, or acquiring transcripts while their cases are under review.”

Reports circulated last month that Isabella Rose, 20, and Olivia Jade, 19, formally withdrew from the university — but administrators have confirmed both girls are still enrolled as they conduct “case-by-case reviews.”
The girls’ mother, Full House actress Lori Loughlin, and designer dad, Mossimo Giannulli, are among the dozens of parents facing federal charges for allegedly paying bribes to ensure their kids’ acceptance into top colleges.
Prosecutors said the Loughlin-Giannullis paid $500,000 (A$697,000) to confessed scammer William “Rick” Singer to win their daughters’ spots by pretending they were competitive rowing recruits.
