Penalty Classifications for Academic Misconduct

There are two levels of penalties for incidents of academic misconduct.

  1. A course-level penalty, which is assigned by the instructor, in line with the policies on the instructor’s syllabus.
  2. A concurrent university-level penalty, which will include educational instruction and assistance, but may include placing the student on a probationary watch list, suspension, or even expulsion from the university, depending on the type of violation and/or the type and number of previous violations.
