Let $(varepsilon, nu)$ be jointly normally distributed:
$$beginpmatrixvarepsilon \ nu endpmatrix sim Nleft(beginpmatrix0 \ 0 endpmatrix , beginpmatrix sigma_varepsilon^2 & rho sigma_varepsilon \ rho sigma_varepsilon & 1 endpmatrix right)$$
where $rho$ is the correlation between $varepsilon$ and $nu$. Then show that for any real constant $alpha$:
$$varepsilon mid nu > alpha sim N(rho sigma_varepsilonlambda(-alpha), sigma_varepsilon^2(1-rho^2))$$
where $lambda(cdot) = fracphi(cdot)Phi(cdot)$, and $phi$ and $Phi$ are the pdf and cdf of a standard normal distribution, respectively.
I know that the conditional distribution of $varepsilon mid nu = alpha$ is normally distributed with mean $rhosigma_varepsilonalpha$ and variance $sigma_varepsilon^2(1-rho^2)$ by the properties of a joint normal distribution, but how do I prove the above when the condition is an inequality?

You need the conditional density of $varepsilon vert nu > alpha$. This is given by $$ frac11-F_nu (alpha) int_alpha^infty f_varepsilon,nu(x,y) ,mathrm d y. $$ Here, $f_varepsilon,nu$ is the joint density, and $F_nu (alpha)$ is the (marginal) CDF of $nu$.

You could find the condition cdf $P(varepsilon le xmid nu > alpha)$ and see if it can be written in terms of the standard normal cdf $Phi$.

Since $P(varepsilon le xmid nu >alpha)=fracP(varepsilon le x, nu >alpha)1-Phi(alpha)$, one would have to evaluate $$int_alpha^inftyint_-infty^x f_varepsilon,nu(varepsilon,nu),dvarepsilon,dnu$$ for the numerator. As per your result, the conditional cdf should evaluate to $Phileft(fracx-cdotcdotright)$.
