The trial for a former Ball State student who police say faked having cancer has been set for Nov. 15.
Brookelyn Walters of Culver was charged last fall with three counts of forgery and two counts of theft.
Randy Hyman, dean of students, said last fall that Walters told the school she had cancer and was deaf, neither of which were true.
She was released on bail in October.
A pretrial hearing was held on Aug. 2, but neither Walters nor her attorney, Jay Hirschauer, attended.
Instead, Hirschauer submitted a letter to J.A. Cummins, prosecuting attorney, that stated Walters had been submitted as an inpatient in therapy July 29.
Hirschauer said in a phone call to the court that physicians thought Walters might suffer from alternate personality syndrome.
Another pretrial date has been set for Aug. 23 to determine whether the court should appoint a psychiatrist to Walter's case.
Hyman also said last fall that Walters first told the school about her condition in 2000.
She turned in notes signed by doctors who had not seen her and used a school-appointed interpreter, Hyman said.
Delta Chi and its sorority-sister Kappa Delta held a hog roast in October 2002 that raised $1,000 to $1,500 for Walters.
