Special Cases:

If the instructor’s dean judges a particular act of academic misconduct to be especially egregious, he or she may take the matter to the Chief Academic Officer, who may impose harsher penalties than those outlined above, including immediate expulsion from the university after just one act.
As mentioned above, if a student’s first two offenses occur concurrently, whether they involve warnings, citations, or a mix of both, they are to be treated as one offense. If a student who has previously been free of academic misconduct suddenly commits more than two offenses in one semester, however, it is up to the judgment of the Chief Academic Officer to decide whether those acts will count as one or more offenses.
