The Extension School student who tricked several campus organizations into believing he was an undergraduate will be sentenced next Tuesday for his role in a check fraud scheme in Washington, D.C., a court official said.

Edward F. Meinert, who pled guilty in October to one count of theft and one count of fraud, had been scheduled for sentencing yesterday, but his lawyer, Joseph Jorgens, asked a federal judge to postpone the hearing.

"[Meinert] needed to provide a list of the names of the victims of the fraud scheme and to pay restitution," said Patricia Heffernan, an assistant U.S. attorney. "He didn't do that."

Meinert's sentencing comes a month after his true identity was revealed to his Harvard friends.

In the fall, he had registered as an Extension School student.

But Meinert joined an off-campus fraternity, Sigma Chi, posing as a College sophomore.

His jovial nature gained him friends, and Sigma Chi members said he was a model pledge.

He also joined the Harvard International Relations Council, winning an award for his administrative expertise.
