Penalties for confirmed cheating and plagiarism are as follows:

First Offense
The faculty member will have the authority to issue a failure on the paper, exam, assignment or course on which cheating or plagiarism was established. In general, plagiarism that the faculty member considers to be serious and proven shall result in failure for the course. The faculty member must report the violation in writing to the Dean of Academic and Student Services.

Subsequent Offense(s)

As with the first offense, the faculty member will have the authority to issue a failure for the paper, exam, assignment, or course about which cheating or plagiarism was established and must report the violation. Upon confirmation of the student's subsequent offense by the Dean of Academic and Student Services, the student will be subject to suspension from the College.
