Sanctions

In cases where culpability is established, the student is to be accorded the opportunity to enter mitigating circumstances through the student's own testimony and that of any witnesses the student produces. Such testimony may be made during the meeting with the faculty member and during an appeals hearing. Sanctions will vary according to the nature of the academic dishonesty, or according to the validity of the mitigating circumstances. In cases where culpability is established, students may be subject to such penalties as:

• a failing grade on a given academic exercise;
• a failing grade in a given course;
• academic dismissal from a course or program of studies;
• academic dismissal from the College.
