Hyejeong Shin, of New Brunswick, must complete a pre-trial intervention program, according to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office.
The ruling was made Monday, May 15 by Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Craig Corson.
Shin, a graduate of Rutgers University, had used a fake birth certificate to attend four days of classes at New Brunswick High School.
The pre-trial program is for first-time offenders.
"This is an unfortunate event," Superintendent Aubrey Johnson said at the time of her arrest.
Shin was charged on Jan. 24 with providing a false government document with the intent to verify one’s identity or age, according to New Brunswick police.
“She was here for four days before being found out and barred from entering district property,” Johnson said.
Johnson promised a review of the process used to enroll the woman, who was not immediately identified.
